Set during the early years of the California Gold Rush, this film follows Caroline Frost, Deanna Durbin the wilful and pampered daughter of a US Senator. Her father, Ray Collins, does not approve of her romance with Lt Robert Latham, David Bruce of the US cavalry, and persuades President James K. Polk to post Latham to guard the gold shipments from the California mines owned by Jake Carstairs, Thomas Gomez.
Caroline travels by train and steamboat and manages to join a wagon-train bound for the West. She shares a wagon with Johnny, Robert Paige, a debonair but ruthless gambler with whom she falls in love, and two comically inept opportunists, Prince Gregory Stroganovsky, Akim Tamiroff and his much put-upon servant Koppa, Leonid Kinskey.
At first, she tells Johnny she is engaged to Jake Carstairs, Thomas Gomez. However, no unattached women are allowed to join the wagon train, so Johnny tells everyone she is married to the Prince [Akim Tamiroff], and she is forced to go along with the ruse.
Eventually, she reaches Sonora, California. Here, her problems are quickly sorted out. After some confusion between Carstairs Thomas Gomez and his real wife, Caroline decides that she really loves Johnny Robert Paige. Her father, Ray Collins, who has followed her, is reconciled.
