The Sisters trailer

Louise, Helen, and Grace Elliott are sisters who live in Silver Bow, Montana with their parents Rose and pharmacist Ned. The three girls are known to be the most prettiest and wanted women there. All three girls are different from one another. Louise is the oldest, who is intelligent and is engaged to Tom Knivel, who is not too exciting. Helen is the middle daughter who is always looking for fun and Grace is the youngest and most innocent. Louise surprises everyone when she runs off with newspaper sportswriter, Frank Medlin to San Francisco and marries him. Helen marries a rich older man by the name of Sam Johnson. Although she is not in love with him, she knows he can provide the life she desires. In the end Grace is left with Tom and marries him to mend his broken heart.
