Her emigrant parents advertise her through the Matrimonial Times to rescue her from her situation, and she is soon on her way to start a new life with her fiancé, Cody on his ranch in Utah. Scarred by the New York street 'friends' of her past, she is wary of the new people she meets on her journey west. But Sue, the Saloon singer who shares her luxury carriage, is just what Eliza needs to break through her guard.
