Gefährliches Erbe (1957)
Nach dem Tod seines Großvaters, einem besessenen Ölsucher, verläßt der angeblich unheilbar kranke Enkel, Peter Campbell (Dirk Bogarde), England und tritt sein Erbe in den Rocky Mountains an, wo er das Öl zu finden hofft, das sein Großvater nicht fand. Bei seinen Bohrversuchen muss er feststellen, dass nicht nur die ansässige Elektrizitätsgesellschaft sein Vorhaben auf hartnäckige Weise zu durchkreuzen versucht. Auch eine Flut droht sein Land und seine Pläne ein für allemal zu vernichten.
