Synopsis:
Kay Dowling, the willful daughter of wealthy Eastern
parents, is sent to her father's ranch in Ursula, Wyoming,
when he fears she will be named a co-respondent in a
divorce case. Before she leaves, Kay's straight-laced
suitor, Herbert Forrest, proposes, but Kay chooses the
ranch over a honeymoon cruise. While on the ranch with
her good-humored aunt Bessie, Kay falls reluctantly
in love with cowhand Tom McNair and they marry. Her
father disowns her, and she and Tom are forced to live
in a one-room shack while Tom increases his cattle herd.
A year passes and Kay longs for the comforts of the
Dowlings' palatial estate. When she receives a telegram
from home, she tells Tom her father is sick and deserts
her husband. In New York, Kay writes Tom a letter asking
for a divorce, but when he arrives at the estate and
explains that he left the ranch to become a professional
bronco rider in a rodeo, she assumes he never got the
letter. Tom plays innocent until, during a party, he
overhears the guests calling him a fool and tells Kay
she can have her divorce. Realizing that with Herbert
she is guaranteed only of a life of golf, Kay visits
Tom at the rodeo. There, she sees him thrown from a
bronco and reconciles with him. Now that his riding
days are over, Tom decides to return to the ranch with
Kay.
