Plot
Alec Lloyd, the overseer of the Sewell ranch, earns the nickname "Cupid" for his knack for playing matchmaker. Upon Macie Sewell's return from boarding school, Alec finds himself unexpectedly smitten with love, although Macie dreams of pursuing a career as an opera singer in New York and rebuffs his advances. Meanwhile, Leroy Simpson, a financially struggling doctor infatuated with Macie's father's wealth, supports her aspirations.
Despite facing obstacles, Macie diligently saves her earnings and eventually buys a train ticket to pursue her dreams in the city. However, Alec discovers that Simpson also holds a ticket for the same train. Determined to confront his rival, Alec mounts his horse and gives chase, compelling Simpson to confess his ulterior motives of seeking Macie's fortune. Upon learning the truth, Macie reconsiders her ambitions and chooses to marry Alec, setting aside her dreams of becoming an opera singer.
