John Smith is a London Cab Driver who lives a very ordinary life with the exception of having two wives, Mary in Wimbledon and Barbara in Streatham. One night John stops an old woman from getting mugged and gets knocked unconscious. After being checked over at the hospital, he is taken to his home with Mary by a local police officer, Detective Troughton.
However, that morning he is supposed to be at his home with Barbara. After realising his predicament, John tries to get home to Barbara while keeping both his first wife Mary and Detective Troughton from finding out about his second wife. Enlisting the help of his upstairs neighbour, Stanley Gardener, John heaps one lie upon another to get back to his Barbara and his very precise schedule. All appears to be well until another police office, Detective Porterhouse, arrives 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 and all of their stories together.
Run for Your Wife was a fast paced, laugh a minute romp that left our audiences in stitches and begging for more.
