Summary

Pathe synopsis: Oil. Black gold. Once the fuel for brave new stories of Texas. Stories of gushers - of oilmen bathing in their new found wealth. Sadly, oil is now at home with commercial reality. But in the midst of reality, somewhere along the pipeline someone forgot to relate that 111,000 tons of oil are produced every year - in Britain.
