Synopsis

Gilligan's 25 cent bet with Mr. Howell ends up with Mr. Howell owing Gilligan 3 million dollars! Mr. Howell then sells Gilligan an oil deed in Dustbowl, Oklahoma for that amount... which is worthless until the radio announces that oil has been found in Dustbowl! Mr. Howell, who is a pool shark, tricks the Skipper into owing Mr. Howell 12 million dollars... which Gilligan pays with the oil deed. However, the joke is on Mr. Howell... the oil is from a buried truck!
