Plot
As described in a film magazine review,{{Citation |last=Pardy |first=George T. |author-link= |title=Pre-Release Review of Features: Flaming Waters |journal=Motion Picture News |volume=33 |issue=5 |pages=598 |date=30 January 1926 |publisher=Motion Picture News, Inc. |location=New York City, New York |url=https://archive.org/details/motionpic33moti/page/n613/mode/1up |access-date=1 February 2023}} {{Source-attribution}} 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.
