Milly to marry him that same day. When Adam brings her home, she is appalled at the brothers' untidy/careless living and sets
about turning these unwashed louts into immaculate gentlemen. During the boisterous barn-raising scene, the brothers get into
a scuffle with a group of townsmen over the affection of six pretty lasses. Yearning to become husbands like their big brother,
they ask Adam for advice. He explains, in order to claim their gals, the boys must kidnap them--which they do. Vowing to remain
on their best behavior, the boys make no annoying advances towards their reluctant female guests--not even during one of the
coldest winters on record. Comes the spring thaw, the angry townsfolk come charging up the mountain, demanding the return
of the stolen girls (who, by this time, have "tamed" their men). A happy ending is ultimately had by all in this
delightful if politically incorrect concoction.
