She's Oil Mine is the last short subject American comedian Buster Keaton made for Columbia Pictures. Keaton made a total of 10 films for the studio from 1939 to 1941.
Waters and Piper are plumbers. During a busy day in their shop, an heiress flees from a persistent suitor. The jealous suitor challenges Keaton to a duel.
The duel takes place on the heiress’s property, where oil drilling is underway. During the confrontation, an oil well is accidentally struck and begins to gush. The resulting oil discovery makes the heiress wealthy, resolves the dispute, and ends the suitor’s pursuit.
