Oil talk and a Texas oil king face a clever con
A scheming Arizona kid posing as a promotor targets Tom Grant a Texas cattleman and oil magnate in Wichita Falls. He feigns respect for Grants son Carson to propose a joint venture linking the heir to a promising oil venture. Grant reveals his deep disdain for oil frauds but recognizes the stubborn fact that oil is here to stay and Carson might join the business.
