Non Stop Trouble with Spies
"The Devil's Taxi" tells the story of Herbie Melbourne, a poor, schlemiel cab driver hired to bring a "comrade" back from the Berlin Wall, a customer who is already dead to the world before he gets there. Herbie the cabbie is hired by the KGB and East German Intelligence to help them solve the murder of the man in his back seat. Herbie is hired by the CIA and West German Intelligence as a counterspy after arriving on the West German side of the border. He is paid twice as much as the other side. Seeing that Herbie has no other options, he seeks out the advice of a mental health professional. When Herbie needs a boost of self-assurance, she pulls out a small potion from her magic bag and gives it to him to sniff. As a result, Herbie is a taxi driver, a KGB operative, a CIA agent, and a bottle-sniffer, all at once.
