One woman, but which one?

Warning: Spoilers
Joey brings the mail to Big Tim and whatever is in there has made Big Tim decide to stay in winter quarters for a few more days. And when a "looker" shows up, she knows the names of everyone in the circus, but who is she. She is Rosemary Anderson and she knows "Timothy" Champion. Big Tim has carried her picture with him during all his travels.

Obviously, there is history there. Introductions are finally made. Rosemary and Timothy have known each other from childhood. She is the daughter of the millionaire Mike Anderson; and she is the one who has been writing to Big Tim. Finally, she decided writing was not enough and has shown up. Now she expects Timothy to come and visit her; and bring Joey, Pete, and Corky along. At the party, Mike confesses to Joey that he has wanted Tim to come to work for him. Rosemary drops the real news: she and Timothy are going to be married.

Back at the circus there are a few problems. Pete tells Big Tim but he's sort of preoccupied with the marriage thing. Then Corky is disappointed when Big Tim passes up a chance to see the new trick he taught Bimbo. Problems are beginning to crop up all over the place, so Joey has an idea to move out and do a show to get everything back to normal. Before he can explain to Big Tim, Big Tim tells Joey, Pete, and Corky that he's selling out to the Gordon Brothers.

Rosemary arrives to find a demoralized circus. Joey says he hopes Rosemary's plan works for Big Tim. When the Gordon brothers arrive, they intend to sell off Bimbo, send Pete to Alaska, and Joey and Corky are also out. Big Tim says his people have to stay or the deal is off. H.B. Gordon tells Tim he will keep his crew together; but as he and his brother step outside the wagon, H.B, tells Sam not to worry. As soon as they own the circus he will forget any promises made to Big Tim.

Right before the wedding, Big Tim learns what's happening. He needs to get to the circus to settle a few problems. Rosemary tells Tim the wedding is off, for now. A man can't be married to two women; and now, Tim is married to the circus. But she tells him to keep the ring. One day he may decide that she is the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
