- Mr. Wilson, a Texas landowner rich with oil, is murdered. Two young family friends set out to uncover the murderer. They journey to Shreveport where the crime is solved.
- Over her mother Emma's objections, Margaret Wilson, an impressionable small-town beauty, encourages the romantic interests of the refined Prince Alihabad and rejects her longtime admirer, the sincere but poor Buster Barnett. Unknown to Margaret, Alihabad is a charlatan from the vaudeville circuit, whose interest in the East Texas oil field that her father Dan has set aside for her wedding present appears to be more than passing. After Dan shows him where the oil land deed is kept, Alihabad asks Margaret to leave with him on an extended overseas trip. While Margaret debates and finally rejects Alihabad's dubious invitation, a man watches her house. Later the man breaks into the Wilsons' home and, after drugging Emma and Dan, steals the deed. Margaret discovers her father dead the next morning and telephones Ernest Lingley, whose bumbling son Jr. is an aspiring private detective. While Jr. and his equally ineffectual partner, Lightfoot, rush to the crime scene, homicide detective Sergeant Ramsey questions Buster, who casts suspicion on Alihabad. Ramsey, who has learned that Dan had contacted an oil developer in Shreveport, Louisiana, about his land, orders his men to locate Alihabad, Jr. and Lightfoot take off for Shreveport. There they inform John Mason, the oil company agent, to expect a man to approach him with the Wilson deed. Mason notifies the local police, while Jr. and Lightfoot cover the train depot. Later that night, the killer shows up at Mason's office, presents the stolen deed, then demands cash for it at knifepoint. At the same time, Jr. and Lightfoot, having spent the day in fruitless pursuit, return to Mason's office just in time to alert the police and apprehend the killer. The mystery of Dan's death solved, Ramsey then corners Alihabad, who reveals his fakery and loses Margaret to the deserving, faithful Buster.

- This film begins with congregants exiting down the front steps of a church and walking by the camera. They are all dressed in semi-formal attire with some wearing hats. After showing a close-up of some of the congregants, the footage shows the front of a grocery and cafe. There are children and adults standing in front of the store. A woman in a waitress uniform comes out of the store, turns in front of the camera and walks back inside. The next footage shows the front of the Douglass School, possibly in Oklahoma City. The camera pans around to show adults and children in the front of the school, parked cars, and other nearby buildings. The next scene shows children in front of a different building, possibly another school, lined up in rows with many holding books. They begin walking in formation passing in front of the camera. After showing some adults standing in front of the building, the footage then shows children playing on a playground. The next scene shows the children climbing into automobiles with long rear seating areas and driving down a hill away from the building and passing in front of the camera. The next scene shows agricultural work with scenes of men performing various tasks. They work with trucks and mechanized equipment to bag the crops and transport them. The next scene shows women and children working in a field and a man riding a plow pulled by a horse. There is footage of a family walking out of a farmhouse, probably the same family from the previous footage in the field. The next scene shows a swimming pool followed by a panning shot of a residential neighborhood with single family homes. Some of the residents walk in and out of their homes so that they can be filmed. There is footage of a man in a commercial area with a sign that reads "Yukon's Best Flour," although the footage is probably not from the town of Yukon, Oklahoma. The next shot shows the front of the Mosaic Temple of America building. There is a brief shot of a storefront window before more footage of single family homes in a residential neighborhood. There are more shots of residents on their porches, both adults and children. The footage again shows the commercial area including a billboard advertising Camel cigarettes. There is more footage of people leaving the front door of a building followed by another scene of agricultural work with a team of horses pulling a plow and men working. Following that, there is a brief shot of a man standing next to a horse and buggy. The next scene shows a man and woman outside of a house under construction that appears to be close to completion. The camera then shows more homes and a brief street scene of two men grappling for the camera.
