Let's Make a Million is a 1936 American comedy film directed by Ray McCarey and written by Manuel Seff and Robert Yost.

[1][2] When Congress votes to pay $2 billion in bonus bonds to World War I veterans, gullible Oklahoma machine supply company owner Harrison Gentry receives $1,100.

His greedy aunts want to use the money for a memorial to their father, while his fiancee Caroline wants it as a stake so they can marry.

Many townspeople join him in investing, only to go broke when the company gives up on a sham well and dissolves.

He leads an American Legion post to strong-arm the remainder of the money back from the swindlers, and uses it to drill a real well that strikes a gusher.
