Gardener, John heaps one lie upon another to get back to Barbara and back on his very precise schedule. All appears to be well until another
police officer, Detective Porterhouse, arrives from a neighboring district investigating the case of two cab drivers named John Smith, both
mugged on the same night but having different addresses. Quick thinking Stanley exaggerates several more lies to create a new John Smith
for Detective Porterhouse, while keeping the truth from Mary. As the lies pile up and craziness ensues, Stanley and John try valiantly to
keep the nosy detectives busy, John's suspicious wives from running into each other, their sex lives straight and all of their stories
together. In the grand tradition of Faulty Towers, Mr. Bean and The Benny Hill Show, Run for Your Wife is a fast paced, slapstick, laugh a
minute romp that leaves you in stitches and begging for more.
