A mix-up in his request for mail-order Chinese fireworks brings Hoss instead a feisty mail-order bride whose militant ideas ignite a workers' rebellion and threaten the completion of a Virginia City railroad project.

All Hoss wants to do is buy some fireworks, but the Chinese Yiphee Trading Company screws up his order. He ends up with an outspoken, trouble-making "bride" named Tai Li (or Pink Cloud). Not only is Hoss' life made miserable, she gets in the way of Virginia City's railroad plans.
