Plot
Things are not going well for Bob Fleming. Then, while showing off for Betty Reed and her father, he shoots through three gold coins, which Bob keeps as lucky charms.
J. M. Ballinger and Rufus Berry arrive in the township of Four Corners and proceed to plant oil on Fleming's property, with plans to sell stock to the townsfolk. Bob is implicated in the scheme and arrested for fraud.
In the end, it turns out there really is oil on Fleming's land.
