The past includes a method of catching up with folks in Stone Creek, Arizona. Therefore schoolmarm Lark Morgan and Marshal Rowdy Rhodes are identified to hide their secrets – and deny their quick attraction. That shouldn’t be too hard, since each suspects the various other of living a lie. Her too-fancy clothes and big-city methods inspire gossip around city; his blond good looks and impudent grin participate in a man wearing a gunfighter’s layer. But Rowdy and Lark possess one truth in common: the very real problems they face. Like the gang of robbers wreaking havoc in the railroad proceeding toward Rock Creek – the men Ranger Sam O’Ballivan expects Rowdy to nab. So that as previous and current troubles collide, Rowdy and Lark must surrender their persistent pride to the best power of all – an undying love.
