Katherine is shamed for being the last single woman in her small town. Embarrassed enough, she browses through the mail-order-bride ads and journeys to out west to meet her suitor. The handsome sheriff certainly stirs her heart but the harsh landscape gives her more than just a little pause in thinking that this might not be the best option. Sheriff Frank Stevens hopes that the influx of mail order brides will domesticate the men in town. He has a violent past of his own and must deal with a ruthless criminal who wants to take over the town and its people. Kathleen and Frank grow fonder of each other each day and their wedding day becomes the talk of the town. But Frank no shows for the wedding and Kathleen takes it as rejection. What she doesn't realize is that Frank is in the fight of his life with the criminal and his henchmen. Will he be able to make it out alive and win back Kathleen's broken heart?
