Competition between privately owned Los Angeles, California ambulance companies is played for humor.

Los Angeles, California: A new law says that the first ambulance that arrives at an accident obtains the contract to transport the injured person. The result is ruthless competition between several companies.—Tom Zoerner <[email protected]>

Two privately owned ambulance companies compete for the city contract in Los Angeles, California. The focus, F+B Ambulance Service, has the wildest crew on the block. Mother (Bill Cosby) is the veteran driver to whom rules are meant to be bent. Speed (Harvey Keitel) is a cop on suspension for suspicion of drug peddling to minors who needs to pay the rent. Jugs (Raquel Welch) is the dispatch secretary with secret ambitions who won't give the boys in the bunkhouse the time of day. Drama and comedy bleed together over who makes the right decisions to land them in the money and keep them out of the hospital.—Lordship
