- Stuart is hired by husband and wife Vincent and Helen Blanton, in believing that their wealthy uncle, Cyrus Blanton, is being swindled by his neighbors, who are building a Utopian paradise community called Eden on their vast rural property, Uncle Cyrus joining their cause in adding his property for the community. Outwardly, the community, led by a man calling himself Mr. Paradise, has renounced any form of progress, instead espousing peace and harmony and a "do unto others" philosophy. It also operates as a legal non-profit, the community members who only donate a small financial amount for the community to operate. However, in going undercover in meeting Mr. Paradise, Stuart believes Vincent and Helen's assertions are correct in that Mr. Paradise has some sort of scheme going on to dupe people like Cyrus. They have to convince Mr. Blanton's sister, Lois Blanton, who, closer to Uncle Cyrus than her brother, believes that her brother, sister-in-law and Stuart are all operating under a financial gain motive, and wants to see Uncle Cyrus happy in whatever form that takes. Upon meeting Uncle Cyrus with Mr. Paradise, Lois comes to the same conclusions as her brother, sister-in-law and Stuart, but by that time Stuart's cover is blown. As such, he has to co-opt Kookie and Roscoe to infiltrate the community, they acting as "converts" which may not be the easiest thing for them to do to a point of convincing Mr. Paradise of their sincerity. What Kookie, Roscoe and Stuart all ultimately believe to be at the core of the scheme is that Mr. Paradise is able to convince his followers to will their estates to the community, many of the wealthy elderly people whose deaths are accelerated in entering the community's infirmary with whatever minor ailment never to exit alive. This discovery places Kookie, Roscoe and Stuart's lives at risk, along with Cyrus and the other especially wealthy elderly followers', as Mr. Paradise and his operatives are willing to kill to protect their lucrative scheme.

He also finds that the few men he has met in town all carry sidearms for whatever reason. A young couple, Clyde and Dorothy Amboy, have recently moved to town, Clyde, who opened a service station despite there already being one in town that has little business, suspicious of any man who talks to Dorothy, and Dorothy who runs the diner, also that does little business and charges high prices because of the expensive overhead of needing to ship everything into town. And although no one seems to have a key to the hotel with its owner George Silverdale's whereabouts unknown despite he promptly paying his property taxes every year, Clyde reports that he has seen lights on the second floor of the hotel at night.
