Mary’s father is a presidential candidate. She wants to get away from all the hullabaloo and just live an ordinary life. She goes incognito working as a maid at a hotel in Palm Beach. She agrees to join two female friends on a blind date with rodeo cowboys. She meets and falls in love with Stretch.
