Flaming Waters is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by F. Harmon Weight and starring Malcolm McGregor, Pauline Garon, and Mary Carr.
Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Danny O'Neil moves to Oil City with his mother, seeking to find Jasper Thorne, who swindled his mother. He gets the best of Thorne in an oil deal and buys a well that turns out to be a gusher, the spray from its overflow covering the area surrounding their ranch. A lamp thrown by Thorne ignites the oil. Danny's foolish friend Midge Botsford opens the gate on the reservoir, and a flaming flood results. Danny rescues his mother and Doris Laidlaw, and he wins the young woman's heart.
