London taxi driver John Smith has spent years keeping his two wives—and two families—from discovering each other. But when his teenage children meet in an internet chat room and arrange to meet in person, his carefully managed double life spins out of control. Desperate lies, mistaken identities, and escalating confusion fuel Ray Cooney’s farcical sequel to *Run for Your Wife*.
