Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Danny O'Neil moves to Oil City with his mother, seeking to find Jasper Thorne, who swindled his mother. He gets the best of Thorne in an oil deal and buys a well that turns out to be a gusher, the spray from its overflow covering the area surrounding their ranch.

Danny rescues his mother and Doris Laidlaw, and he wins the young woman's heart.
