Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] ex-soldier Calvin Gray arrives in the Texas oil fields and meets the newly rich Briskow family. He soon becomes involved in a medley of adventures, including saving the Briscows from business ruin, rescuing the son Buddy from a foolish marriage, revenging himself on a perjured officer who had caused his dismissal from military service, and winning the love of Allegheny Briskow. When a downpour causes a flood with burning oil floating on the waters, and lightning hitting a gusher well, Allegheny is able to rescue her sweetheart.
