To escape from the mercenary clutches of a blackmailing showgirl who is suing him for breach of promise, Danny, a wealthy playboy, enrolls at Cody College, a remote school in Nevada. There he meets Ginger, the daughter of local mailman, Phin, whose unlucky penchant for gambling has almost forced him to sell his ranch. As romance develops between the two young people, Danny hits upon the idea of converting the ramshackle property into a luxurious dude ranch for divorcees. The opening, launched by a host of professional entertainers and the entire student body, is a huge success. Complications arise when the showgirl, Tess, joins forces with gamblers out to make a killing. But virtue triumphs: Phin's debts are paid and Danny finds true love with Ginger.
