La dinastia del petrolio (1957)
Bruce Campbell, che si crede colpito da un male incurabile, riceve all'improvviso un'eredità. Con la morte del nonno entra infatti in suo possesso una vastissima tenuta in Canada, e Bruce decide di trascorrere là i suoi ultimi giorni. Giunto in loco scopre che sul terreno è in corso una polemica: il possidente Morgan vorrebbe costruire una diga, mentre il nonno di Campbell si opponeva, convinto di trovare il petrolio. Morgan ha alterato le ricerche di un esperto ma Bruce scopre tutto e inizia una lotta senza quartiere.
