Unable to believe the number of business trips his brother-in-law Keith O'Connell makes to Dundee, Idaho, Isaac Russell decides to serendipitously follow him.  Isaac is stunned to find that Keith has another wife with three young daughters besides his sibling Liz.Forced to make a decision, Keith chooses his Idaho family for the sake of his offspring.  When his despondent sister Liz decides to follow her "husband" to Idaho, Isaac does likewise to insure she does not break the law by doing something stupid or even try to do something stupider like getting her "husband" to come back to her.  Complicating matters at least in Isaac's mind is his attraction to Keith's schoolteacher first wife Reenie Holbrook, who uses her maiden name.Big girls do cry when they suffer broken hearts as both women do when the truth about Keith's bigamy surfaces.  However, Reenie recovers faster perhaps because she has the kids to take care of (no time for breakdowns) and the interest of Isaac to help her move on while Liz feels abandoned and betrayed first by her two-timing spouse and then her brother.  She and the kids provide the fresh extended look at the impact of bigamy.Harriet Klausner
