Plot[edit]
Nightclub performer Violet La Tour collapses during a show in Sagebrush, Texas, and is subsequently cared for at the ranch of Lon Dixon. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other and eventually get married. However, when Lon leaves to join a posse hunting for rustlers, Violet feels abandoned and decides to return to New York.
