Narrator Joe Arden portrays a myriad of characters who live in a small town in Wyoming. Rumors and stories circulate among the townsfolk when an elaborately decorated bed is carted down their main street. Local newspaper owner Sarah Calhoun is determined to discover the story behind the bed AND its owner--Jack Donovan, eligible bachelor. Arden ably captures Sarah's strong personality and Jack's debonair ruggedness. Arden's falsetto conveys the snarky attitude of the women who judge Sarah for her scandalous past, including those jockeying for a chance to become Jack's wife. Arden's Southern drawl and well-timed delivery bring out the male characters' jocular humor and exaggerate their buffoonish traits. As the heartfelt attraction that develops between Jack and Sarah is made palpable, Arden's deep tones and dramatic pacing sizzle with temptation and sensuality.
