Selon son père, Danny Churchill Jr. est trop axé sur les filles et les fêtes. C'est pourquoi il l'envoie dans une ville de l'Arizona à majorité masculine, pour que Danny se concentre sur des sujets plus sérieux. Cependant, peu après son arrivée , Danny tombe amoureux de la maîtresse de poste locale, Molly Gray. Il gagne l'affection de celle-ci. Mais pourra-t’il battre un rival new-yorkais?
