But when she misses her bus after a stop, she ends up stranded on a western ranch. While waiting impatiently for the bus to return and take her home, Molly ends up falling for handsome cowboy Duke Hudkins.

War era comedy is nice turn for John Wayne, co-starring radiant Jean Arthur.

In this light, minor fare, made before he became a star, Wayne is cast as Duke Hudkins (Duke was his nickname), an easy-going rodeo rider who treasures his indpendence--until he meets Jean Arthur, a bank-teller from New York City.

A lightweight romantic comedy that's pleasing because of the easygoing relationship between stars Jean Arthur and John Wayne.
