Directed by Alfred E. Green
Overview
When Tom Redding’s wealthy father dies and it turns out that all he left Tom was a mountain of debts, all of his “friends” desert him—except young Mary Austin. Determined to get out from all his debt, Tom heads west and eventually strikes it rich with an oil well. Now wealthy, he hatches a plan to get even with his “friends” in his hometown—by pretending to return home broke but having a colleague secretly buy up as much property in town as he can.
