Synopsis

Here's an outrageous comedy about love, romance, and marrying the perfect person. Ronald Schmidt, wearing a tuxedo, has left his bride at the altar to attend an urgent meeting at Dr. Shaw's office. Diana Henderson, in an elaborate wedding gown, has left her bridegroom at the altar to attend the same meeting. But instead of a meeting, all that the two strangers find are his ashes in an urn and the good doctor's assistant ready with a pair of handcuffs! Both Ronald and Diana had been tested by Dr. Shaw since childhood and imagine they are favorites of the late eccentric billionaire. Both now hope to inherit his enormous fortune. But to quality for their legacy, they must agree to be handcuffed for twenty-hour hours. They don't know each other, take an instant dislike to one another, yet find the other strangely attractive. They reluctantly agree to the peculiar stipulation. Once alone, they argue, then find one another irresistible and kiss. They argue again, yanking violently on the handcuffs until they break. The assistant returns with the jilted bride and bridegroom, the ones left at the respective altars. Laughs abound as the couples confront each other. Ronald and Diana beg for understanding, and make outrageous excuses, and pretend to be handcuffed -- all the while the jilted partners are beginning to feel an unexpected attraction to each other. Who ends up marrying whom? And who inherits the Shaw fortune? The answers are hilariously revealed in The Arranged Marriage.
