Plot
Tony, a prosperous middle-age Italian vineyardist in California, advertises for a young wife, passing off a photograph of his handsome younger hired man, Buck, as himself. Lena, a San Francisco waitress, takes up the offer, and though she is disillusioned upon discovering the truth (particularly since her first sight of Tony is after an accident that saw him break both of his legs), she goes through with the marriage because of her desire to have a home. While first irritated at Buck, she falls weak for him after the wedding that sees her kiss him. He leaves for a time, which leads Lena to decide to take on the effort of serving as Tony's nurse for three months to have something to do. Buck returns at the time that Tony is finally able to use crutches, but she finds that she does in fact have love for her husband.
