Wilson Schlitz is sleeping off last night’s accumulation of cheer. His father, the oil field owner, is angry and writes Wilson as follows: “If you are not in this office at three o’clock today, I will give the property to whoever is here at that time, your son or the superintendent.” The letter blows out the window and against the face of the superintendent. He notes its contents and then it blows away again. He chases it and in turn is chased by father, who gets the letter and sends it to Wilson. The villainous superintendent tries to keep Wilson and his son from the office at 3 o’clock. The action carries the principals over the oil fields and to the tops of the derricks. The power house is blown up, the oil field catches fire, a dam breaks and other funny incidents occur. When it’s all ended the villain is foiled.
