Marcella Bronson's brother-in-law threatens her to find a husband or he will find one for her. All she wants to do is take care of her two-year-old cousin whose parents have died, but she doesn't want to be kicked out of the family home, penniless, either. Her salvation rests in the hands of the rancher who seeks a mail-order bride - a newspaper ad she found. Unfortunately, her plans go awry when she's kidnapped and mistaken for her dying sister. Now she needs to figure a way out of this mess and convince her soon-to-be-husband that she and the little girl really do need his help.
