There Will Be Blood

Two rogue Texas oil men, ``Big John'' McMasters and ``Square John'' Sand, drill oil wells in fields where there is no known oil. These wildcatters team up with a local drilling equipment owner, Luther Aldrich, and strike it rich -- but the ups and downs of the oil business, the whims of South American politics, and the love of Elizabeth ``Betsy'' Bartlett threaten to tear the two friends apart.
