to the western town of Sandrock, Arizona. On the trip they meet Susan Bradley, who is travelling to the same town to marry the man whose beautiful letters she received when she answered a
"lonely-hearts" ad.
Unfortunately, when she arrives, her husband-to-be turns out to be an "old coot" who does not at all meet her expectations. They start to argue and list each other's personal faults, both claiming none was mentioned in each other's letters. With their mutual disinclination to continue with the marital union clear, they jointly decide to call off the wedding.
With the marriage safely cancelled, he reveals to Susan that his letters were actually ghost-written as a joke by Ned Trent, the local saloon owner. Susan, rightly furious, confronts Ned to tell him off, in the process endearing herself to him.
Susan joins the Harvey Girls, and she soon becomes their leader in fighting against the attempts by Trent's business associate, Judge Sam Purvis. Purvis wants to scare them away in order to maintain his own thriving business running the large saloon in town. The Harvey Girls also face the animosity of the so-called "
dance-hall girls," led by Em, who is in love with Trent and sees Susan as a rival.
Trent visits the Harvey House and see its value along with the other trappings of civilization and then tells Purvis to leave them alone. Purvis continues with his campaign of intimidation, finally burning down the restaurant. Trent offers his saloon as a replacement, and Em and the dance-hall girls leave town. Susan, thinking that Trent too is leaving, gets on the train, but Em, seeing that Susan loves Trent so much that she is willing to give up everything for him, stops the train and points out Trent, riding toward them on his horse. Ultimately, they wed in the desert, surrounded by the Harvey Girls.
