Steve (Stewart) is an ex-GI who, with help from his army buddy Gambi (Duryea), head south to begin their careers in oil drilling. Trouble greets them before their first drill, when local shrimp fishermen boycott their presence. Things get worse when Steve falls in love with Stella (Dru), the daughter of a combative fisherman.

Set in the Deep South, shot on location in Louisiana.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with manuscript annotations on the verso, and evidence of a mimeo snipe removal.
