Synopsis:
Merry visits an indian reservation and befriends an indian geologist. The geologist believes there is oil on the land, but the tribal chief doesn't believe him. Con Connover seeks to get the chief to turn the land over to him. With Merry's help, the geologist is able to evade Connover's men. Together they prove the existance of oil before the deal can be signed which would cheat the tribe.
