A dying man's final gasp leads Jim and Artie to one Monsieur Flory-
French expatriate and rather sadistic bad guy. Flory envisions himself as

United States from interfering in the take-over. To disable the main
railroad lines would disable US troop movement, and to these ends Flory
strives. Jim and Artie must free an entire Mexican village turned slaves and
stop Flory's instrument of destruction before Mexico is once again under
French rule. A rather 'international' episode this- complete with an
oriental, Mexicans, French, Americans, and even Germans (German
