Plots(1)
Following the death of his father, the oldest son takes over the family farm, while his younger brother prefers to take up the work of a secretary of a seriously ill count. When the brother learns there is oil under the count’s land, he decides to use the opportunity. This melodrama, attempting at psychological realism, was long considered lost. (Summer Film School)
