Boom Town

The story follows two friends who, over the course of a decade, transform from small-time oil prospectors to wealthy oil moguls, while both harboring a deep passion for the same woman.

Two wildcatters, Big John and Square John, develop their own oil fields despite their rough-around-the-edges nature. However, their friendship is put to the test when Big John falls for Square John's girlfriend, leading to a bitter breakup. Years later, when Big John's infatuation with Karen Vanmeer threatens his marriage, Square John tries to save the marriage by intervening, even if it means ruining Big John financially.
