Tomboy and mountain girl Debbie Reynolds vows at an early age to become wealthy and live in the elite part of Denver. Luckily she meets miner Harve Presnell who throws an axe and strikes millions in gold. They get married and move to Denver, where they are promptly ignored by the dazed socialites. They spend a year in Europe getting cultured, then return with their new royal friends to impress their Denver neighbors. It works, but almost costs them their marriage. Absolutely ridiculous Hollywood hokum with Reynolds never more unbearable as the feisty title character.
