** Set in the early 1870s, throughout the series West and Gordon face up against numerous {{Mad Scientist}}s, several of which have invented a variety of futuristic gadgets and devices including: radio controlled missiles (The Night of the Steel Assassin), a homing torpedo (The Night of the Watery Death), advanced plastic surgery (The Night of the Ready-Made Corpse), a matchmaking computer (The Night of the Vicious Valentine) and a tank (The Night of the Juggernaut). The episodes nearly always end with their inventor dying and thus their discovery lost, with either Artie occasionally mentioning the shame at the loss or it being stated their tech was taken in by the government but it's predicted it will take the scientists years to figure out how to replicate it.
** The standout example of the series being West and Gordon's personal Archenemy [[EvilGenius Doctor Miguelito Loveless]] who regularly invents inventions decades ahead of his time; in his first two appearances alone he has already perfected light bulbs, cathode tubes, electric fences etc. Loveless is a misanthropic criminal mastermind who makes it absolutely clear he has no interest in his inventions benefiting anyone by himself, though Jim and Artie still occasionally marvel at or mock his technological innovations.

The duo battled a wild assortment of [[MadScientist mad scientists]] and criminal masterminds, their most persistent foe being the EvilGenius dwarf Dr. Miguelito Loveless (Michael Dunn). Depending on just how exacting a person's definition of {{Steampunk}} is, this series could be said to be the highest-profile example of the genre ever to appear on American live-action TV. More assuredly, it's the UrExample of CattlePunk.
