ep38 Alabam Thinks Theres Oil On The Ranch

Yippee-dah-yayo! In long little bees, it's your misfortune, and I'm my own. Yippee-dah-yayo! In long little bees, you know that my own men will be our new home. Life on the Red Horse Ranch. Yay! Somehow or other, Alabama knew there was a possibility of finding oil on the Red Horse Ranch.

A representative of an Eastern oil company has made tests on the ranch and has asked for an oil lease on the land. And now we're waiting for Alabam to explain just how he made this discovery.

We first joined Mr. Carter, his daughter Rose, and Mr. Niles, the oil company representative at the ranch house. Well, Mr. Niles, I have good reason to believe that what you're telling me is the truth.

That's the way I want you to feel, Mr. Carter. I'm glad you've taken time to investigate my standing and my company's standing. Have you read the lease over carefully? Yes, and I had my lawyer look it over in town.

Everything seems to be satisfactory. Then I understand you're ready to sign the lease. I have your check here. There's no use wasting any more time. We'd like to get started drilling as quickly as possible.

Are you sure that there's oil under this land? Well Mr. Carter, as sure as the person can be until he's actually drilled, our geological tests make us pretty certain. Well, Rosie, I don't suppose you have an objection to my signing this lease.

Oh, it's marvelous, Dad. But we won't have to leave the ranch, will we? Why, certainly not. This oil lease merely gives the exclusive right to drill for oil on your land. We pay you the specified amount for the lease, and if oil is discovered, you'll receive your oil.
