Watch Your Wife is a 1926 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Svend Gade and starring Virginia Valli, Pat O'Malley, and Nat Carr.

Plot

As described in a film magazine review, James Langham and his wife Claudia are divorced, and Count Alphonse Marsac woos Claudia. James hires Gladys Moon from an agency that advertises "wives for rent," but really provides housekeepers for hire, with working hours being from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A storm forces Gladys to remain overnight at the James house. Claudia, repenting of the minor squabbles that caused their divorce, shows up the next morning, but flees at the sight of Gladys. James follows her and gets her off a train on which she was about to leave with Marsac. The couple become reconciled.
