Faithful Wife and Hooker
When a prudish, repressed wife uncovers her frustrated husband’s "intentional adultery,” in disguise, she replaces his hooker and blackmails him for cheating (!), setting off a series of cascading, mutual deceptions that ironically awakens her libido and restores their marriage.
With Thanksgiving approaching, ALLIE, a prudish Pastor’s daughter, discovers her frustrated, normally mild husband GEORGE has arranged to meet a prostitute. Incensed, she plans unholy vengeance: she takes sex-play lessons from a hooker and, disguised by her make-up wizard/actor brother BOBBY, replaces George’s hooker -- three times (!), and to her surprise, with pleasure -- and blackmails him for cheating! Besides, she needs the money for plastic surgery.
But wily George fakes suicide in front of her eyes. Allie is heartsick guilty until she finds him at home safe and sound. But what can she say? Now doubly furious -- she cannot abide deception! -- she resolves to exact righteous retribution. After all, it’s a Biblical principle. So, she convinces Bobby to play a Mafioso bagman demanding payment for Bobby's gambling debts. Disguised as a wiseguy and packin’ heat, Bobby gives George two days to fork over the lettuce or "somebody eats grass roots the hard way."
Allie savors sweet revenge until a real MAFIOSO (or is he?) shows up demanding payment of Bobby’s very real debts. But wait up. George, emboldened by the success of his suicide ploy, morphs into Dirty Harry and, in a blaze of gunfire, albeit bumbling, runs off both wise guys. Allie wilts, shocked by her husband’s new machismo.
George dominates as a muted family and friends celebrate Thanksgiving. He glows with self-satisfaction until later he discovers Allie¹s costumes and unveils her scams. Merciless, he demands an accounting. Allie tearfully pleads her case; after all, her chicanery revitalized George, and her sex training provided what they both have always needed -- the sexual liberation of his one true love, Allie.
How much deception can married love survive? George's "punishment" fairly screams... A LOT!
