Part Time Wife was inspired by a racy novelette originally seen in the pages of Spicy Stories magazine. The happy marriage between novelist Kenneth Scott (Robert Ellis) and his wife Doris (Alice Calhoun) is nearly rent asunder when Doris decides she wants to become a movie star. She achieves her goal, resulting in many an uncomfortable moment for Kenneth as he watches wifey make love to a variety of handsome leading men. But Doris remains true to Kenneth, and when one of her co-stars really comes on to her, she bolts from the studio and back into her husband's arms. Filmed quickly and inexpensively, Part Time Wife is on a par with the rest of the threadbare Gotham Pictures product.
