As the only doctor in the frontier town of Savage Wells, Gideon MacNamara knows his prospects for a bride are limited. Therefore, he decides to take advantage of the matchmaking service of the day -- mail-order brides -- and sends for a woman with nursing experience. But when Nurse Miriam arrives, she had no idea she would be asked to marry a stranger. Embarrassed by the mix-up, McNamara offers her a job, and romance just may follow, if danger doesn't threaten.
