When Quint Hadley saw Priscilla Brewster waiting at the train station for NIgel Banks, he had an idea. He offered to drive her to the ranch, and she thought he worked for Nigel so she accepted. When he took her to his ranch instead, he announced he was kidnapping her. Undaunted by the threat, Priscilla made the best of things. She'd come early to check out the man her father sent her to marry, since she was a mail order bride. She wasn't taking that sitting down. She meant to find out about Nigel Banks before she married him. But Nigel wasn't in too big a hurry to rescue her, and Quint did everything to make her comfortable at his ranch while he waited on Nigel to sign the deed over to him. Quint had to tell Cilla that Nigel had won the deed in a poker game and then shot and killed Quint's brother. Suddenly Cilla had to pick a side. When Nigel didn't seem to want to go through with Quint's deal, Quint threatened to marry Cilla himself. Nigel had a lot of deep dark secrets that were just now surfacing and Quint knew that eventually he was going to have to fight the man, for Cilla and the ranch.
