Alec Lloyd, the overseer of the Sewell ranch, earns the nickname "Cupid" for his knack for playing matchmaker. Upon Macie Sewell's return from boarding school, Alec finds himself unexpectedly smitten with love, although Macie dreams of pursuing a career as an opera singer in New York and rebuffs his advances. Meanwhile, Leroy Simpson, a financially struggling doctor infatuated with Macie's father's wealth, supports her aspirations.

However, Alec discovers that Simpson also holds a ticket for the same train.
