Never put the trope name in spoiler tags, per official spoiler policy. In fact, recap pages aren\'t supposed to have spoiler tags at all, but I didn\'t know that when I was making them and I\'m too lazy to go through and change \'em all.... :P

* NouveauRiche: According to Bessie, this is how the ladies who make up the local elite view her. It is also, as she confides to Artie, how she's come to view herself. She hopes that her donation will somehow prove her worthy of joining high society.

West and Gordon are assigned by the governor to collect large sums of money which will help shore up the California state treasury. Things get complicated when it becomes evident that the three rich donors - a stingy old moneylender, an eccentric train lover and beautiful casino owner Bessie Bowen - have been targeted, via exploding toys, by Dr. Loveless. This time he has involved a lovely Angel of Charity woman named Priscilla Barnes in his schemes.
