"Big John" McMasters (Clark Gable) and "Square John" Sand (Spencer Tracy) are two down-on-their-luck oil wildcatters who join forces. When Elizabeth 'Betsy' Bartlett (Claudette Colbert) shows up, McMasters sweeps her off her feet (without knowing that Sand considers her his girl) and marries her. On their first anniversary, she catches her husband dancing with a barroom floozy. Sand quarrels with McMasters and they flip a coin for the entire oilfield.
