Daniel ist der rasanteste Taxifahrer Marseilles, weswegen er auch seinem Schwiegervater in spe auf die Schnelle aushelfen muss. Der hochrangige französische General hat nämlich völlig die Ankunft des japanischen Verteidigungsministers vergessen. Am Flughafen eingetroffen, muss Daniel seiner Fahrkünste wegen dem hohen Besuch gleich noch eine polizeilich entwickelte Anti-Terror-Limousine vorführen. Was dabei keiner ahnt: Yakuzas haben es auf Leib und Leben des fernöstlichen Staatsmannes abgesehen und liegen bereits im Hinterhalt.
