There are so many things that a girl shouldn't do, and for a teacher, there are even more. Miss Garrison is learning them all by doing them. No sooner has the hapless beauty escaped scandal in her Wyoming home by taking a Texas teaching job than she meets up with 'Handy' Jack Harwood - a handsome gambler who will surely do her reputation no good. She knows she can get on track, if only she can ignore the unladylike excitement he stirs in her. She'll gamble one last time - on the goodness of Jack's rakish soul and that they are meant to be together. After that, she'll start behaving herself.
