While visiting a Colorado cowtown, Destry bumps into an old friend, Pete Daley, who offers the ex-convict a thousand dollars if he can protect him from a pretty girl who's determined to marry him while the businessman is in town trying to close a big deal. Destry's mission is complicated by the two things - Pete loves the young woman and can't remember anything he says or does when he's under the influence of champaign.
