Albert Granger is a handsome and wealthy lawyer (some would say he is a bit sober and stodgy for his years) who has recently inherited a mountain ranch. He is also engaged to marry the beautiful, but volatile, Agatha Woodward. While driving to his ranch his staid and ordered life is suddenly upended when a brash young woman, whose car has broken down, steps into the middle of the road, shouts and waves him to a halt, and then demands that he look into the problem with her car. Nothing is ever quite the same again in his life.
