3	West and Gordon pursue Norbet Plank (J.S. Johnson), murderer and bookkeeper for a crime syndicate, to the town of Epitaph, Colorado, where he expects to be protected by his boss, "Diamond Dave" Desmond (Creator/SimonOakland). The agents hope to bring down the syndicate by capturing Plank and forcing him to turn over the organization's records. Working from within and without Desmond's gang, the agents do finally manage to get hold of Plank, but getting ''into'' Epitaph proves to be a whole lot easier than getting ''out'' again.

8	!!Tropes present in this episode:
9	* AffectionatePickpocket: Artie does this to a guy performing a NeckLift on him.
10	* AlliterativeName: '''D'''iamond '''D'''ave '''D'''esmond, '''R'''hoda '''R'''ansom, '''H'''allelujah '''H'''arry... this episode is full of them.
11	* BadBoss: Plank is rude and condescending to his underlings.
12	* BadHabits: Artie poses as a ConMan posing as a preacher. (Got that?)
13	* BlankBook: Plank's records turn out to be this when Artie finds them.
14	* ChandelierSwing: James West does this during a bar brawl.
15	* CigarChomper: Desmond is shown doing this. During the OneLastSmoke scene, he even borrows Artie's lighter to use it himself.
16	* ConfrontingYourImposter: Artie's masquerade as Hallelujah Harry is going just fine until the ''real'' Harry shows up.
17	* DynamicEntry: Happens in the first act when Rhoda and Plank are hiding from West.
18	-->'''Rhoda:''' What if West comes back?
19	-->'''West:''' (does a SuperWindowJump) I ''am'' back.
20	* FacePalm: Desmond does one when Jim drops a chandelier on his {{Mook}}s, as shown in the upper right hand corner of the page pic.
21	* FemmeFatale: Rhoda Ransom (Susan Hart), who works for Desmond but isn't above double-crossing him just a bit if it suits her own interests. She captures and then betrays Jim when the agent refuses to help her.
22	* GratuitousSpanish: One of Desmond's henchmen is a Mexican who peppers his speech with Spanish words and phrases.
23	* KavorkaMan: [[InformedAbility Apparently]], Norbet Plank.
24	* MacGuffin: Both our heroes and Desmond's gang spend much of the episode looking for the mob's books.
25	* NoMacGuffinNoWinner: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Plank has the information that can bring down Desmond's operation, but nobody finds it because he's memorized it instead of putting it in a tangible form. Once Artie figures this out, Desmond is done for.
26	* OneLastSmoke: Artie, who is about to be executed by the gang, asks for one. He then uses it to set off the fireworks hidden in his cart.
27	* PhotographicMemory: Norbet Plank has one. He keeps all of the syndicate's records in his head as a form of life insurance.
28	* TownWithADarkSecret: Epitaph is a WretchedHive that's basically owned by the syndicate.
