When Brian takes up jogging, his wife Hilary is not surprised. She has often told him he should exercise more after all the business lunches he consumes. But when Brian is ostensibly running round the park, he is, in fact, spending a couple of hours with his girl friend, Wendy, in his good friend George's flat.

It is all plain sailing until George's wife Jessica returns too soon from a business trip to America and puts the cat among the pigeons.
