Synopsis

Penny arrives by airplane in the neighborhood of the Kingdon ranch. Her behavior is thought suspicious, and she is put in jail, where Kurt Walters, foreman of the ranch and deputy sheriff, recognizes her as a girl his friend Jo met in Chicago who confessed to being a thief. When he enters the cell to talk with Penny, he finds a visitor and orders her to leave, taking Penny, who has promised to go straight, to Mrs. Kingdon. Penny begins to tantalize him and complicates his life with her pranks. But he continues to fall more and more in love with her. A crisis develops when a mysterious stranger and the other girl who was in Penny's cell arrive. It is then revealed that Penny is not a thief but a motion picture star hiding from a manager who wants her to renew her contract. She prefers the golden sand to the silver screen and remains on the ranch with Kurt.
