In his second appearance on the series, Dabbs Greer did a wonderful job as Captain Lyman Butler, the Southern Army soldier who did not know the war was over!!
I really also enjoy watching the father and daughter. The concern the daughter has for her doctor father is very touching to watch: When she comes to find her father to have him take his medicine, she finds herself in a whole lot of trouble, though.
Morton is probably my favorite villain in this episode: classy and sneaky at the same time. Like when he makes his first appearance to James and Artie early in this episode and appears to be a good guy, yet starts to show off his true colors a few minutes later after he tells Jim and Artie that there is no Mrs. Colcrest.
Artie truly is a gentleman in this episode when he talks to the Doctor and his daughter, and I like how he distracts Morton and Roach's men with the recording of the couple in love, reusing the little turntable that was used in TNOT Doomsday Formula earlier in the season. His two disguises are wonderful to watch as well. In his portrayal of the Doctor father, he adds just a pinch of humor into getting Morton believe that he has Jaundice. His portrayal of Rober E. Lee in this episode is so good and moving: Watching Lyman Butler getting honorably discharged is a real highlight of the program. He also has a great quote at the beginning of the episode: "They're playing us out with music--bad music!" Considering I know so much about music, I did get a chuckle at that particular line. .
James has some great fights in this episode as well, including fighting Roach and Morton's men in the cave, with everyone pretty much losing their cowboy hats in the struggle, and the fight in Miss Kitty's Saloon that ensues when the balloon cat explodes out of Artie's medical handbag is one of the finest fights in the entire series and one of the best in Season 4 in general.
Great tag also with Artie relaying to James how history could have been changed if the South won the War Betweern the States and how everyone would have been whistling "Dixie", with Jim and Artie doing exactly that at the close of the tag.
Great episode worth watching again and again: One of the strongest and best Season Four episodes.
9 out of 10 from me. .
