During Mardi Gras in New Orleans, agents West and Gordon look for the cruelest former commander of a Civil War prison who has been a fugitive from justice for the abuse of prisoners. They meet a young girl who leads them to Hazard, her legless father and victim of the prison commander. Hazard and his men are after the commander as well, but their real goal is to find a shipment of one million dollars that disappeared after arriving at the prison. Written by Tiff Banks

James T. West: Thank you. No, no, go on, but I must say that you've carved out a small reputation for yourself in that department. But please go on.
Col. Tacitus Mosely: Well, for instance, you're young, and I no longer am.
James T. West: Well, I apologize for that.
Col. Tacitus Mosely: A certain type of impressionable female probably still finds you attractive, and never was that the case for me.

During the climactic fight scene, Jim West's famously tight trousers rip apart in the crotch, amply revealing his very 20th-century white jockey briefs. A few shots later, the rip mends itself and the pants are split down the right outer seam instead. See more »Quotes

This is a very good episode of West in that the script is quite clever. The plot involves a lost shipment of gold late in the Civil War and the hunt to find it. It starts in New Orleans during Mardi Gras with pomp, circumstance & fireworks. It employs some major sleight of hand and even some bits of classic Shakespeare references along the way.
Col Tacitus Mosely(Jeff Corey), an evil commandant to a Confederate POW Susquehanna Prisoner of War Camp is the main person West & Gordon are after. Only the plot involves them being called in by the daughter of Major Hazard to have West help find Mosely for justice.
Veteran character actor Nehemiah Persoff plays Major Hazard, heading a band of eight who appear to be after Mosely, only they are not who they appear to be. The unveiling of the band by West at the trial sequence is a lot of fun & well done.
The action sequence in the court yard after the trial is where the wardrobe malfunction happens. While West is battling the bad guys, he very obviously rips out his pants & since this show had a budget, the malfunction was never re-shot but left in. In the next sequence the rip in the pants magically moves to a more modest one on the other pant leg.
Even with this obvious thing, the malfunction does not take away from a solid episode, & CBS never got any letters or complaints from anyone about the malfunction.
