FAITHFUL WIFE AND HOOKER
By John Connell

GENRE: Romance, Comedy
LOGLINE:

An outraged, prudish wife avenges her frustrated husband’s "intentional adultery” by disguising as a hooker and blackmailing him in a series of deceptions that upon discovery ironically amends the couple’s mutual failings and restores their marriage.

SYNOPSIS:

How much deception can married love survive?

When ALLIE, a prudish Pastor’s daughter, discovers her normally mild husband GEORGE has arranged a date with a prostitute, she wreaks unholy vengeance. Disguised by her actor brother BOBBY, a make-up wizard with a gambling problem, she replaces the hooker -- three times -- and blackmails George for cheating!

But wily George foils her plan. He fakes suicide right in front of her eyes. Allie is penitent, indeed, broken-hearted until she finds him at home safe and sound. But what can she say? Now doubly furious -- “I cannot abide deception!” -- she resolves to inflict tenfold retribution. After all, it’s a Biblical principle. She convinces brother Bobby to play a Mafioso bagman demanding payment for Bobby's own very real 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 her sweet revenge until a real MAFIOSO (or is he?) turns up demanding payment of Bobby’s debts! Undaunted, Allie devises yet another plan guaranteed to satisfy everyone. But wait up. Normally mild George, flushed by the success of his suicide ploy, morphs into Dirty Harry and, albeit in a bumbling blaze of gunfire, runs off both wise guys. Even Allie is impressed by her macho husband.

The new George fairly glows with satisfaction until he uncovers Bobby’s and Allie¹s roles in the multiple scams. Merciless, he demands retribution. Allie tearfully pleads her case. After all, her chicanery has revitalized George¹s manhood and provided what they both have always really needed -- the sexual liberation of his one true love, Allie.

How much deception can married love survive? George's corporal "punishment" fairly screams... A LOT!
