A fiery train wreck consumes Binney Cooper's husband, Norris, leaving
her to provide for herself and her twin boys. Left penniless by the loss
of her teaching position, she asks a court to declare Norris dead,
permitting insurance benefits. Bigamist Norris's second wife, Eliza,
also wants that money. To give Liza the slip, Binney and her twin boys
relocate. But Eliza finds her. So Binney runs again, across the
continent, this time to Carson City, Nevada, where Blake Taylor,
rancher, attorney, and a former suitor during college days now lives.
Their friendship becomes a romance, helped along by widower Blake's twin
daughters and Binney's sons. Then Norris, the 'dead' husband shows up to
claim his wife and sons. Enraged when he hears of his former wife's
interest in Blake, Norris shoots Blake, winging him, while Blake returns
fire, killing Norris. How will they explain to Binney's sons that the
father they thought was lost in a train wreck was killed by a man they
have come to love, Blake?
