Soldier of fortune Calvin Gray finds work in a Texas oil town aiding the Briskows, a family of homesteaders who have become rich from the discovery of oil on their property. The Briskows allow Gray to manage their investments, and he thwarts the evil plans of Henry Nelson, a banker who, as an officer in the Army, persecuted him. Gray then prevents an adventuress, "The Suicide Blonde," from swindling Buddy, the Briskows' son. Finally, he marries the daughter, Allegheny Briskow, after she saves his life during a fire and flood caused by a thunderstorm.—AFI
