Trama
Negli Usa, dove tutto sembra possibile e dove bastano tenacia e determinazione per arricchire in fretta, due amici per la pelle si buttano nella più recente avventura economica: la ricerca del petrolio. Gli affari prosperano e l'amicizia si rinsalda finché tra i due si intromette, suo malgrado, una donna di cui entrambi finiscono con l'innamorarsi.
