Brief Synopsis:
Gene aids two women who are victims of a mail-order marriage racket.
 
Detailed Synopsis:
Gene Autry receives a surprise telegram from Mary Gridley, a total stranger, who writes that she’s on her way to the Flying A Ranch to become Gene’s bride! Gene and Pat Buttram meet the stage and find that it has brought not just one future wife, but two. Mary is young, sincere, attractive, and accompanied by her “big brother,” who has come along to see that Gene goes through with the wedding. The other “bride-to-be,” an Indian maiden named Little Mountain, is also a stranger to Gene, who soon learns that both women are victims of a mail-order marriage racket operating from an R.F.D. box in a nearby county. He rides there to investigate, accompanied by Mary’s “brother,” who turns out not to be her brother at all, but an undercover man working for the U.S. Postal Service. Together, Gene and the Postal Inspector bring an end to “The Western Lonely Hearts Club” and prevent it from operating. Mary does not, of course, marry Gene, but instead becomes the wife of the Postal Inspector, while Little Mountain happily returns to a warrior from her tribe. Thus, the crooked Lonely Hearts Club is successful in a way it never planned nor intended.
