The local community turns against Martin when he is robbed and fails to buy out Felton. Later, in an oil town owned by Felton, Martin accepts an offer to cap a wild gas well. Martin has shielded Little Phil, a fugitive who has attempted to kill Felton; they meet Oklahoma Red, a former pal of Martin's, who pays off an old debt.
