Title: The brides wore spurs
Description: The open range of the 1880s held a bountiful sea of grass for Wyoming cattle growers, but for some it could become a sea of loneliness as it did for the three McKenna brothers. Then a mood struck them - "it would be nice to have a woman around the house" Encouraged by his older brothers, the younger McKenna endeavors to be come a Romeo on horseback and find a bride. But plans of romance and marriage don't always go as intended. Suddenly the oldest brothers finds himself on his way to the Justice of the Peace. More complications ensue when two husband-hunting women appear on the scene as if out of nowhere. The brothers soon find herding cattle from horseback is far easier then trying to herd a woman. The brothers lose what sense of humor they were born with, but not so the ladies. They know exactly what needs to be done and by whom - right up to the surprising and hilarious ending.
