19th century Texas - The men are brave and strong, and women are few and far between. Zach Stone has a ranch with a nice stone house, but he needs a wife. Mary Alice Price has nothing but troubles. Desperation forces injured Alice into Zach's camp, and a hero has to be heroic to the damsel in distress.On the journey to Zach's ranch, they add 7 year-old orphan, Seth Barnes, and his dog Harry to the group. Desperation forces Zach and Alice to agree to a brief pretend engagement. Zach's aunts, brothers, an attentive preacher, and assorted neighbors make it difficult to just pretend an attraction. A life as Zach's wife tempts Mary Alice to re-think her plans to go to Atlanta. Zach soon finds it hard to send his pretend bride packing.The pretended engagement is frought with problems; Alice's green hair, a smitten preacher, Zach's once white but now bright yellow shirt, and a growing mutual love that can survive the final knowledge about Alice's step-family.
