Description In Running Riot, a farce by Derek Benfield, Humphrey Podmore is mistaken for a British champion runner at the Olympic Games. When the real champion turns up a man locks him in a cellar as he has placed a bet believing that Humphrey will represent England - needless to say he walks away with the race.
