Set in the oil-soaked country of "Chilitina"--shot on location in San Diego's Balboa Park--Oils Well! follows the travails of Monty, an office clerk, who thinks only of his boss's daughter. When Herbert Hester, an oilman "so crooked he cheats when counting his pulse," schemes to cover up the company's new gusher so he can claim it himself and get the girl, Monty swings into action. He eludes the hapless Chilitinan army, sidesteps the General's amorous wife, thwarts Herbert, and saves the day.

Monty Banks want the girl and hits oil! Got a few clever gags, but overall not that funny. Banks is a likable chap, but lacks something to carry his comedies.... which is why he never had much of a acting career outside of these one- and two-reelers during the 1920s.
