Synopsis: RUN FOR YOUR WIFE is a madcap modern British farce about John Smith, a cab driver with two wives, two homes, and a very precisely planned schedule for juggling them both. Trouble brews when Smith is injured and ends up in hospital, and both wives report him missing to two different police departments. Smith becomes hopelessly entangled in his attempts to explain himself to his two wives and two suspicious police officers, with help from his lazy upstairs neighbor.
