On Monday, Danny Clark (Mendelsohn) is the reluctant recipient of a birthday present he would rather forget - his father's old Nissan Cedric. By Tuesday he has asked the beautiful Joanna Johnson (Karvan) out on a date; however, he promised to pick her up in a Jaguar. In a tight fix, Danny trades the Nissan Cedric for a Jaguar only to be ripped off by a dodgy car salesman, Gordon Farkas (Bisley). Danny sets out to rectify wrongs.
