Three vignettes of old Irish country life, based on a series of short stories. In "The Majesty of the Law," a police officer must arrest a very old-fashioned, traditional fellow for assault. The man's principles have the policeman and the whole village, including the man he slugged, sympathizing with him. "One Minute's Wait" is about an little train station and glimpses into the lives of the passengers, with a series of comic setups. The third piece is called "1921" and is about a condemned Irish nationalist and his daring escape. Tyrone Power introduces each story.

地球という星の、ロサンゼルス、ニューヨーク、パリ、ローマ、ヘルシンキという5つの都市で、5人のタクシー・ドライバーが乗客を乗せた。同じ夜にそれぞれに繰り広げられる5つの物語。本作はジャームッシュの作品に共通して見られる奇妙な可笑しさ、卓越したセンスが冴える会話に加え、背景に広がる空しさに満ちた荒涼感は健在であり、その独自の雰囲気で好き嫌いがハッキリと二分される彼の作品にしては割りと門戸が広く、様々な人が楽しめる作品に仕上がっている。特に、ニューヨークが舞台の話と、ロベルト・ベニーニ主演によるパリの話がお勧め。
