Fresh from the City (1920)

The daughter of a restaurant keeper is wooed by a city guy. The lifting of the mortgage and the introduction of a cabaret places the restaurant on a paying basis. Not satisfied with what he has got, the old man gets up a scheme to sell some land on the strength of an oil deposit and proceeds to pour kerosene into a pool. The trick is later turned on himself when the city guy fakes a gusher, and the old man buys back at a price that ruins him.
