[Lucky Morton] Morton, who owns 500 acres of land in east Texas, has just discovered oil under his property. He calls OilEx, who wants to buy all of the oil from Morton's property.

Thinking he can get more money off his land, Morton cuts down all of his trees with a chainsaw and then sells them to PaperCo to be made into paper. Meanwhile, Morton's neighbor offers to buy Morton's wheat crop after it is harvested in the Fall, and Morton agrees.
