When the sheriff from Malfunction Junction finds out he's a father, he's delighted. Naturally, Mason assumes claiming his daughter means claiming her mother, and he'll finally get the only woman he's ever wanted. However, Mason soon discovers he's got it wrong. No cowgirl worth her salt would allow a man to simply waltz right in and take over. He'll just have to hang on to his hat--until Mason woos Mimi the way he should have all along....
