West and Gordon are in UsefulNotes/NewOrleans (during Mardi Gras, of course), where mysterious women set up meetings with each of them. At Gordon's rendezvous he is ambushed by a group whose leader turns out to be Colonel Tacitus Mosely (Jeff Corey), a former Confederate officer in charge of the notorious Susquehanna prison of war camp; West is also attacked, but escapes to meet a group of crippled ex-Union Army soldiers who are seeking revenge on Mosely for his crimes against them. The agents resolve to help bring Mosely to justice and manage to abduct him from his home for that purpose. Then things ''really'' get interesting...

* PublicSecretMessage: Jim, in full sight of the villains, begins punching holes in a newspaper with a pencil. Artie picks it up later and figures out that the holes represent a message in Morse Code.

* DeathTrap: Mosely puts Jim in one that will culminate with Mosely's mansion burning down while he [[FakingTheDead fakes his death]] and assumes yet another fake identity. Once he leaves, Jim escapes the trap easily.

* OnlyICanKillHim: This is Major Hazard's attitude toward Mosely at first, but he agrees to give Jim and Artie [[RaceAgainstTheClock two days]] to find him themselves. And when Jim shows the captured Mosely to Hazard and his "Brotherhood", they kidnap him to put him on trial. At least, that's their story until Jim figures out the truth...

* SpottingTheThread: How does Jim know that the Brotherhood of Hell are actually Mosely's former partners? Well, when Mosely disappeared, his seven lieutenants vanished at the same time. Then he notieces that all the settings at Susquehanna have eight chairs. And since the Brotherhood had seven members until one of them was killed in the ColdOpen...

* SpottingTheThread: How does Jim know that the Brotherhood of Hell are actually Mosely's former partners? Well, when Mosely disappeared, his seven lieutenants vanished at the same time. Then he notieces that all the settings at Susquehanna have weight chairs. And since the Brotherhood had seven members until one of them was killed in the ColdOpen...

* CowboyCop: Colonel Richmond warns Jim and Artie not to go after Mosely until they can verify his identity. They ignore him and pursue Mosely anyway.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Major Hazard.

* NaziGold[=/=]NaziGrandpa: Civil War-era analogues to both tropes turn up. Mosely hid one million dollars worth of the Confederacy's gold somewhere on his old P.O.W. camp's grounds and Hazard is after it. Hazard and his gang pretend to be former Union soldiers when they were actually Mosely's assistants at the camp; Hazard's daughter is completely unaware of their true identities. Mosely himself has acquired a new face and a new name and become a respectable member of the community.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: Tow of Hazard's men wear masks, presumably because Mosely inflicted FacialHorror on them. When Jim figures out they're faking it like the rest of the gang, they remove their masks to reveal perfectly normal appearances.

* ICallHerVera: At Mosely's plantation, one of his {{Mooks}} has a gun with not only a name, but a literal HairTriggerTemper.
