Wealthy ranch owner Cheyenne Harry decides he needs a housekeeper, but his cowboys decide he needs a wife and advertise in an eastern newspaper. The ad is answered by Aileen Judson-Brown, as dictated by her fortune-hunting mother. Harry marries Aileen and a baby is born a year later. Deciding to gain more money and social standing, Mrs. Judson-Brown then tries to break up the marriage so that Aileen can marry Ferdie Van Duzen. Mrs. Judson-Brown steals the baby and tells Harry the baby has died and Aileen no longer loves him. Harry goes out West in sorrow, but when Mrs. Judson-Brown's butler wires Harry the truth, Harry locates the baby and discovers Aileen still loves him. The reunited family goes West together, leaving Mrs. Judson-Brown behind.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic clash between rustic honesty and urban greed, employing comedic setups and melodramatic twists. It relies on contrasting characters and the dynamic editing style of early Westerns to propel its simple moral tale.

What lingers after the final reel is a charming, uncomplicated affirmation of loyalty and simple family values triumphing over calculation and deceit. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Ford
