Charged with cleaning up crime on the notorious Gallatin Street, Yancy Derringer finds himself at odds with the villainous Toby Cook, and enlists the help of a Swedish sea captain who is transporting an explosive new invention.

When Yancy is asked to assist a U.S. Marshall in the river transport of $200,000 in Army payroll greenbacks, a charming young beauty by the name of Billie Jo James persuades Yancy to take her along up the river along.

Challenged by ace duelist, Spade Stuart, Administrator Colton searches for a way out of a deadly duel while attempting to impress a beautiful visitor from Boston with whom he finds himself smitten.

Administrator Colton finds himself with quite a workload: fending off New Orleans crime czar Lance Carter, wowing his visiting sister Agatha with his Reconstruction wizardry, and attempting to build a romantic blockade between her and Yancy.
