Borrowed Wives (DVD)

Peter Foley has 24 hours to appear at his Uncle's Henry's mansion with his wife, or he loses a $800,000 inheritance. Trouble is, he's not married. Crooked lawyer Winstead sees this as no problem, and provides Foley with a "wife" - office floozy Julia. Peter and his new "bride" arrive at Uncle Henry's cavernous haunted castle on a dark and stormy night. Without warning a violent and jealous police officer arrives looking for his missing girlfriend who happens to be none other than "fake bride" Julia!
