Washington Territory is shy on marriageable females, so Asa, an enterprising lawyer, sails to Boston and brings back a group of prospective brides. At first the girls don't like the rough life, especially when the belles discover they have enemies in the horrible Scrubbs family, consisting of cantankerous Ma and her obnoxious children who hate lumberjacks because they cut down trees and "that's bad for trappin' critters." When the villainous Mayor Crook discovers Asa is running against him for the Territorial Legislature, mayhem ensues and all manner of musical mirth breaks out before any wedding bells actually chime.
