The town is shackled by Blue Laws imposed upon it by a City Council under the influence of their domineering wives. Harry Cheshire is under the thumb of his sister Abigail Uppington (Isabel Randolph). One look at "Pappy's" daughter Clementine (Lorna Gray), and Dan decides to stay in Harmony... Blue Laws or not. "Pappy" confidentially tells Dan he can't be chased from town if he buys any piece of property and even gives him the cash to but a worthless lot behind City Hall, where the troupe sets up their headquarters.
