The Bride Came C O D

Charter pilot Steve Collins is always able to stay one step ahead of girlfriends who want to marry him and the bill collector who wants to repossess his plane. His latest charter is Joan Winfield, a madcap heiress who is eloping to Las Vegas with vapid bandleader Allen Brice. When Steve finds out that Joan's oil-tycoon father vehemently objects to the marriage, he is able to negotiate with him to kidnap his daughter and deliver her to him in exchange for enough money to save his plane and business. The aircraft unexpectedly goes down in an ghost town inhabited by an idiosyncratic but lovable old man. Trapped in the desert, the improbable couple finds that opposites attract.
