![]() ![]() The children, who are wary of their new stepmother, inform Kay about all the ranch chores and then watch in horror as she dutifully but ineptly tries to accomplish them. At five, Kay is again stirred from her sleep by Nan and Tina. Later, after only two hours of sleep, Kay and Chris are reawakened by Chris's chatty friends, who insist that the groom join them on a cougar hunt. An inexperienced dancer, Mears slips and falls into a piece of pie and roars out of the party, humiliated. Jean welcomes Kay without jealousy, however, and the shivaree is a great success until Kay cajoles Mears into dancing with her. Organizing the shivaree is Jean Morrow, a widowed rancher who, until Kay, was Chris's romantic interest. No sooner does the exhausted couple settle in for the night, than they are dragged out of bed by boisterous well-wishers, anxious for a shivaree. They also encounter their more prosperous but cantankerous neighbor Mears, who controls Chris's water rights. The newlyweds then drive across country to Chris's Wyoming ranch, the Cougar Rock, where they are greeted by Chris's young daughters, Nan and Tina. Friend and fellow rodeo rider Orvie pushes the reluctant Chris, who is a widower, into Kay's arms, and after a whirlwind romance, the two are married. When cowboy Chris Heyward sees sophisticated Broadway songwriter Kay Kingsley during a benefit rodeo in New York City, he is immediately attracted to her. ![]()
