1 4 Struck Oil (International) assertion Clay Greene , J. C. Williamson , 1873 single work drama

John Stofel, a Dutch shoemaker has settled in America with his daughter, Lizzie. During the US Civil War, he goes off to fight in the place of a cowardly deacon who gives him the title deed of a farm. Not long after Stofel returns from the war wounded and insane, oil is discovered on the farm and the deacon tries to take the land back. Stofel eventually regains his memory, however, and finds the hidden title deed forcing the deacon to give up his land.
