"Claim Upon My Heart" features a woman who encounters a smooth-talking stranger at a ranch and discovers he may be using her as bait to trap other victims through a scheme involving Laramie Jones. "Rope Your Cowboy" shows a woman stranded without money seeking work at a ranch, where a cowboy offers her employment in the kitchen and hints at a future together.
