Here we open with Jay and Joan taking in a show at the local rodeo. They see bull rider Jack Crofts get thrown from his saddle, but the Flash saves him. He also learns that the saddle was greased and the bull's horns were poisoned, so clearly not an accident.
It is soon learned that the Crofts have struck oil at their ranch and Benton plus his gang are trying to run them off. When Mr. Crofts makes it clear he won't sell, Benton sets fire to the oil but thankfully the Flash manages to put the fire out and turn Benton over to the sheriff.
