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.

Reviews for A Lady Takes a Chance
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.
