In 1932, Eve is watching the Hudson River in New York being dug up. The story then moves to 1931, when Runorata men come to the Daily Days for information on Dallas. Meanwhile in New York two idiots end up accidentally setting a storehouse on fire, where old man Barnes has been able to obtain the Immortality Elixir. Barnes manages to escape with 2 bottles but ends up getting into some trouble shortly afterwards. Back in the Flying Pussyfoot, everything is about to go down.
