Mail-order bride Ann Smithwright (Mary Carver) travels all the way from Philadelphia to Dodge City, whereupon she identifies Matt Dillon (James Arness) as her future husband. Thing of it is, Matt has never heard of Ann: it seems that Chester Goode (Dennis Weaver) had sent a picture of Matt to Ann, passing it off as his own likeness. But even after Ann finds out that Chester is her "intended", she intends to remain in Dodge, and never again return to her prosperous Philadelphia family. By now, Chester realizes that it would be a big mistake to wed Ann--but it is up to Matt to resolve the sitution.
