Diana Westcott, a young lady who has recently lost her parents, is tired of the constant suitors who only want her for her inheritance. She wants to find a real love, not just someone who wants to improve their social status. A chance meeting with local matchmaker Elizabeth Tandy made her think about moving west and marrying a man who needed a wife, knowing it would be easy to conceal her fortune.
Kevin Smythe knew his boss was much happier after marrying a mail-order bride, so he decides to do the same. The woman who comes all the way from Massachusetts to meet him is not at all what he expected. The only meal she knows how to cook is pancakes, and she has very expensive tastes.
They need to learn to get along together as husband and wife, and recognize they are both equals in the marriage. When Diana convinces Kevin to follow his dreams, how can that possibly work out for the pair of them?
