Hersholt is at it again as the small town American doctor, Christian, whose experience and wisdom help save River's End from folding because of a phony oil scheme. Hull comes to town presumably to build a hotel and resort. During initial spading, oil is discovered, and the town goes wild
in an effort to get at it. Hersholt calls in a geologist friend for verification of the oil find, but Hull manages to frame him and the geologist is locked up, leaving Hersholt to rescue the town before it is too late. There are a few scenes which could use re-editing, but as a whole the story is
one of the best in the series.
