Run For Your Wife is the tale of a London cab driver with two homes, two wives, one cab and a thousand white lies.

When a random mugging sends him to the hospital, and after both wives report him missing to two different police stations, the scheme unravels in a spectacularly bad and funny way.
PG-13 Parental guidance suggested as some material may not be appropriate for children.
