In 1953, two short films were released about the Williston Basin, 10,000 square miles of prairie in Montana and North Dakota.  The film says that a few years after World War II, petroleum companies got the idea of drilling there. Within a few weeks, representatives of six companies offered to lease the mineral rights of a couple's farm: 10 cents an acre per year for ten years, plus one-eighth of any oil revenues. They signed, but it's a year before any wells are drilled - the first one goes in at a cost of $500,000. Will they hit oil and turn the area into the frontier again? Everyone has dreams of what to do with the money.
