3 | West and Gordon have their first encounter with the brilliant but evil dwarf, Dr. Miguelito Loveless, along with the doctor's two assistants, the lovely Antoinette and the mute and simple-minded giant, Voltaire. Dr. Loveless is planning to take over California, which he claims rightfully belongs to him. |

6 | !!Tropes present in this episode: |
7 | * AffablyEvil: Loveless is a charming and charismatic man...who wants to blow people to smithereens. |
8 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: Voltaire and Dr. Loveless. |
9 | * BreakoutVillain: The episode ends with Loveless' capture, with nothing to suggest we'd ever see him again, let alone that he'd become West's archenemy...except Loveless is just that awesome. |
10 | * DumbMuscle: Voltaire. |
11 | * ItWillNeverCatchOn: Apparently Loveless has invented some kind of primitive cathode ray tube and is in the process of developing television. Artie thinks the whole idea is ridiculous. |
12 | * PaperThinDisguise: Jim needs to impersonate a professor whose life is in danger, so he puts on a pair of glasses. Disguise complete. [[spoiler: It doesn't work, but since Loveless knows the man well it wouldn't have anyway.]] |
13 | * VillainousBreakdown: Loveless has one for the only time, after Jim stops him and he's stranded on the pendulum. |
14 | * [[WeaponizedCar Weaponized Coach]]: Jim acquires a specially-modified horse-drawn carriage from Artie. It comes complete with secret compartments and levers which do various unpleasant things to unwanted occupants. |
