Obstacles to a happy ending include the fact that while Kate’s husband despises her, she is nevertheless still married, the innkeeper's saucy daughter has fallen in love with Archer, Lady Bountiful mistakenly believes herself to be a great healer of the sick, and a band of brigands plans to rob Lady Bountiful that very night...
