Commenting that golf doesn't look that hard, Gilligan is forced by Mr. Howell to make a putt as he makes noise. When Gilligan makes the putt, Mr. Howell becomes indignant, upping his bet against Gilligan and holding him hostage until he wins his money back while keeping Gilligan from helping the Skipper. By nightfall, the Skipper goes angrily looking for Gilligan, and by time he finds him, he learns that Gilligan's 25-cent bed has escalated to three million dollars. Forgetting he's angry, the Skipper lures Gilligan away before he can lose the money back to Howell. The next morning, he goes off to find Howell to honor the bet, but Mr. Howell purposely eludes him and meets with Gilligan in secret, having Gilligan fill out an income tax form and selling him an oil company in exchange for his three million dollars. Unfortunately, the oil company is a worthless.

Realizing he's now rich, Gilligan is now getting special attention all over the island as Mr. Howell tries to get the property back. He invites the Skipper and Gilligan to dinner at his hut, trying to finagle them into games of chance to win back the oil field. When the Skipper confesses pool is the only game in which he gambles on, Mr. Howell throws back the cover on the dinner table to reveal its really a pool table. He dominates the game as their betting increases to twelve million dollars, and when it comes time to quit, he demands the bet be paid. Gilligan signs the deed to the oil company back over to him to cover it, and Mr. Howell walks away cheering his own savvy business acumen. The following morning, Gilligan is poor again, but then the news reports that <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Howell%20Industries%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Howell%20Industries%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHowell%20Industries%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-2929473455f609faf92350" href="/wiki/Howell_Industries" title="Howell Industries">Howell Industries</a> has investigated the source of the oil in Dust Bowl and traced it to a buried oil truck.
