Merridew, believing that there is oil on the property, tries to buy the farm from the widow for a pitance, only to be detected by Sis Riggs, who had heard him talking to his niece. Aaron refuses a bribe to keep quiet and tells the news of the oil to the widow, forcing the would-be swindler to pay an honest price for the farm. However, the oil was planted on the farm by Aaron, as Merridew soon discovers When he tries to force the widow to return the money he paid her,he is arrested on an old swindling charge by Clarence Green, a plain clothes detective. Aaron winds up the play in a slick manner by marrying the widow.
