Cowboys Beauregard Decker and Virgil Blessing attend a rodeo in Phoenix, where Decker falls in love with beautiful cafe singer Cherie. He wants to take Cherie back to his native Montana and marry her, but she dreams of traveling to Hollywood and becoming famous. When she resists his advances, Decker forces Cherie onto the bus back to Montana with him, but, when the bus makes an unscheduled stop due to bad weather, the tables are turned.

i want a guy i can look up to and admire but i don’t want him to browbeat me. i want a guy who’ll be sweet with me but i don’t want him to baby me either. i just gotta feel that whoever i marry has some real regard for me aside from all that loving stuff
