It's 1911 New York City. Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers (Debbie Reynolds) is a widower with two young children. She decides to head out to Arizona for a new start. Her expected job falls through. Aggie Gates (Thelma Ritter) hires her as a ranch hand and tries to set her up with neighbor Pat Collins (Andy Griffith). Dan Jones (Steve Forrest) is the scheming saloon owner.
This is a fun little lightweight western. Debbie Reynolds gets to do some physical pratfall humor. There is a perfectly fine love triangle with two sharply drawn men. Debbie makes it all working. Thelma Ritter is great. It is light fun.
