Sweet Laurel

Laurel Martin sets out to turn her father's deathbed wish into her very own dream come true. Having agreed to leave Salina, Kansas, in search of a husband, Laurel arrives in Denver, Colorado, determined to sing in its fabulous opera house. Unfortunately for Laurel, she is the only one who thinks she is qualified, or that she can carry a tune! When Chance Rafferty, a gambler and local saloon owner, offers to hire her, Laurel reluctantly accepts. She is convinced this is but a temporary arrangement until she successfully auditions for the opera. What Laurel Martin least expects is to like singing in a saloon. She is even more surprised when she finds herself passionately in love with Chance, a man who has sworn off a commitment to any woman and who considers the idea of raising a family while owning a saloon nothing short of preposterous. Laurel's wit and passion convince him otherwise!
