Adam Pontipee comes into town looking to find himself a wife. He meets Milly, a waitress at a local restaurant, and asks her to marry him. Milly instantly falls in love with Adam and they rush into marriage and immediately return to Adam’s home in the mountains. As soon as they get home, Adam reverts back to his true self, an ill-mannered and inconsiderate slob. Milly quickly learns that it is not only she and Adam that will be living in his home together, but his unruley six brothers also live with him. Milly, after considerable frustration determines to reform the brothers and help them change their ways. She teaches them etiquette and introduces them to courting and dancing. On a trip to town for a social, the six brothers meet six girls and, like Adam, now want to get married.

Upon returning home from the social, turned brawl, the brothers become terribly heartsick for their girls. When winter sets in Adam reads the story about the “sobbin’” women  and they decide to kidnap the girls (and a minister), bring them back home and marry them. After accomplishing this goal, an angry Milly scolds the boys and sends them all to live in the barn. Adam, upset at Milly, leaves to the  mountain cabin to live by himself. By the time spring rolls around, the brothers and the girls are in love and begin courting. At the spring thaw a changed Adam returns home to find his wife and newborn daughter waiting for him. The snow clears and the angry suitors make their way up to the house in the mountains to hang the brothers and retrieve their daughters. A melee erupts and the ending surprises the brothers, brides and townspeople.
