Description See How They Run! is a fast moving, rib-tickling farce. Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage are an ex-actor, an ex-actress, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who "touches alcohol for the first time in her life" and four men in clerical suits, one of whom is a disguised escaped prisoner. A sedate Bishop is aghast at all these goings on,and at the trumped-up stories that are told to him.
