Eddie McEvoy is annoyed when wife Margie opts to spend time with her abusive father after he has suffered a stroke, leaving him and his young son at home. Having lost his driving licence he now works on the phones at Alpha-Zero Cabs, along with lonely Sandra, whose broken window he mends and who brings lunches for him, pitying his lack of domesticity. Being a kindly - if weak - soul, unable to say 'No' to a needy person, he ends up in bed with Sandra, unfortunately on the night Margie comes home early. His feeling that he must come clean with his wife has unhappy consequences. Written by don @ minifie-1
