Shortly after marrying Sally Watterson (Irene Dunne) in 1859, Peter Cortlandt (Randolph Scott) discovers oil on his grandmother’s farm, and soon nearby farmers also find natural gas reserves beneath their land. Determined to purchase their valuable land, railroad tycoon Walt Brennan (Alan Hale) raises the prices for using his trains for oil transportation, hoping to force the farmers to sell. Peter, in search of a better solution, begins constructing a pipeline.

This is an excellent Movie. It’s full of Drama and romance turned upside down. It flips the script and leads you on an exciting Trip thru the Oil Field Hay Days. It’s amusing and catchy. But it’s just a great Movie to watch with a bucket of buttered popcorn.
