Having failed miserably while working for his uncle, Sam finds himself shipped off to America. He would much rather have been headed to Canada as he’d fallen in love with the picture of a women he’d found left behind in a remote cabin when he’d vacationed there. That is, until he sees another picture of her, in America, while visiting an old friend. He discovers his dream girl, Kay, is the niece of Matthew Wrenn who works for Mammoth Publishing Company.
