Simmons, of the Georgia volunteers, are well informed regarding the presence of the Gatling Gun on the train. The Confederates, masquerading as Yankees, have set-up an ambush at Greensburg's railway station. When the train stops at Greensburg, the Confederate spies manage to attack and capture the crates containing the disassembled Gatling Gun. After leaving the scene, the Confederate team disperses and only Captain Simmons and Sergeant Guderman carry the Gatling hidden in an elixir salesman's wagon. The two Confederates must cross all Union states undetected and reach Confederate lines with the Gatling Gun. At a river crossing they meet a female doctor in an ambulance wagon that has broken down. The Confederate spies hesitate about helping the Yankee woman for fear of blowing their cover. But the Southern manners win and they decide to help her. They also hide the crates containing the Gatling Gun in her ambulance. In the Yankee town of Baxter Springs they take the doctor and her patient to her home-clinic where they hide the Gatling Gun in a chest in the dinning room. This way they can roam the town without being caught with the Yankee weapon in their possession. They also must find a Confederate sympathizer in town in order to be guided through enemy territory to the Confederate lines.

Braden and assisted by hired Pinkerton's detective Frank Kelso search the region to retrieve the gun.

A Fine Madness
Samson Shillitoe is a New York City-based poet of great promise and some renown, but he's troubled, which causes problems. He is four months behind in alimony payments, unable to clear that outstanding debt with his day job as a carpet cleaner. But he sees this as not so much his problem: it's for the courts, the police, and his ex-wife Beverly. He has difficulties not acting upon his general attraction to women; in return, they act on the same attractions. He is in the process of writing his epic poem, and has been for five years and counting, but he's got a severe writer's block--and might be substituting sex for that inability to write. His long-suffering, loyal, current wife, working-class Rhoda Shillitoe, believes Samson's problems might lead him to attempt suicide. He is already prone to violent outbursts, although any violence toward her she knows is only in jest; she knows he'd never physically hurt her on purpose. When she sees psychotherapist Dr. Oliver West on a TV talk show, she believes he could solve Samson's problems. Samson doesn't want to talk to Dr. West about his life, but he agrees to see him largely out of circumstance; his creative juices are starting to flow again and he thinks he could use Dr. West's place as a place to write while hiding from the police who are after him. But Samson's association with Dr. West has its own complications, most specifically with Dr. West's unhappy wife, Lydia West, who is neglected by her husband; and with Dr. West's colleague Dr. Menken, who is looking for a human subject to test his new surgical procedure: lobotomy.
