Mike and Jake in the Oil Fields, or the Stinger Stung (1913)
Jake and Mike are both infatuated with Louise. Both carry flowers to her and both accompany her to the fruit orchard. They are caught by the farmer and Jake gets a bunch of buckshot from a shotgun. Mike and the girl escape and Jake is kicked off the place. As Jake limps back to town he comes upon some bunco men planning a letter, offering oil stock at 100 per cent, below par and guaranteeing one thousand per cent, profit. On the following day Jake takes Louise for an auto ride while Mike follows the course of the letter and runs it down in the hands of a rube. He follows the rube into the hands of the bunco men and then gets an idea of his own. Mike buys some oil and pours it on a portion of the land. He seizes the rube and insists that he go with him to see the place. The result is that the rube, the bunco men and Jake are all successfully urged to put their money in the land. Going to Louise he shows her his immense roll of money; she agrees to fly with him and as they pass the rube, the bunco men and Jake, Mike waves the money as a sign of his victory.
