Belinda Bauer doesn’t believe she will ever marry, but that doesn’t stop her from starting a matrimonial service and finding brides for the town’s lonely men.

But her science doesn’t always prove true, and not every couple is a perfect match.

Georg Kaufman has been friends with Belinda his whole life. He is content to spend his days in his barber shop, cutting hair and chatting with the town’s men folk. He’s never considered marrying, but when Belinda insists he needs a bride and sets about finding one, Georg slowly warms to the idea. Maybe it is God’s will for him to marry, but is this woman Belinda brings to town the perfect mate God has for him?
