Remedy for Riches
Remedy for Riches is a 1940 American comedy film directed by Erle C. Kenton and featuring Jean Hersholt. It is the fourth of the six films of the Dr. Christian series.

Plot 

A college friend of the local soda-jerk comes to town and lets it be known that he's looking for property on which to build a resort. When he buys some land and suddenly "discovers" there's oil underneath it—and generously offers to sell the townspeople shares in his newly found oil reserves—Dr. Christian suspects a swindle and sets out to prove it.
