Garfield is a drifter, distrusting, embittered, and on the run from the law, who enters a mud-rutted oil town. Oil-rig boss O'Brien befriends him and gives him a job. There's precious little time since the lease on the well will run out soon. In their haste, the drillers have several
accidents, one of which results in O'Brien's breaking a leg. Garfield takes over and brings in the gusher; then he and Farmer, a street-wise gal as hardened as he, decide to face the murder charge Garfield has been evading. Beyond Garfield's dynamic persona, this is just another routine film for
him, one with a fairly predictable plot. FLOWING GOLD was turned out quickly by Warner Bros...
