 Dr. Faustina and her mute servant, Miklos, have transformed a corpse into a duplicate image of Jim West. When they bring the corpse back to life, Faustina s plot is to have West look-alike gain entry to a meeting of the President s cabinet to kill four of the members. With that accomplished, Dr. Faustina creates another body-double in the likeness of Artemus Gordon. This time, the Gordon impostor has orders to kill President Grant.
