	Synopsis: Mike Preston's oil well has come in but he and site manager Harlow Phipps have a plan. Preston announces that the well is dry, he's fired Phipps and is closing the operation down. He then asks his lawyer Perry Mason to arrange the sale of half of his leases, 1000 acres or so, at a paltry $50 an acre. Mike tells him he's just hedging his bets, but Perry is skeptical. Preston has a gimpy leg owing to an industrial accident 7 years ago that he blames on Hugh Jamison, owner of a tool and supply company, who he believes set a fire and stole $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in securities. The missing securities which were registered have never surfaced. Although outwardly pretending to hate one another, Preston and Phipps are working together to set up Jamison but when Phipps is found dead, it's Mike Preston who is charged with murder after his pistol is supposedly seen beside the dead body and he is heard threatening to kill Phipps.
