While President Grant attends an event at
the German Consulate, Baron Hinterestoisser invites him to a special
reception, explaining he has something interesting for the president
to see. Suspicious, agent James West retrieves the mysterious box the
Baron refers to and finds a kinetoscope of a fake depiction of
President Grant signing a secret agreement with the unscrupulous
government of another nation. If the film is shown for the heads of
other countries, Grant will suffer terrible indignation and upset
international relations. If the film is not replaced, however, the
Baron will accuse the U.S. of stealing on consulate soil, a far
greater crime. Agent Artemus Gordon decides that the only alternative
is to make a duplicate kintetoscope-with some changes-and return it
to the consulate before it is discovered missing. West and Gordon
finish just as the president arrives. The Baron announces that he has
proof of President Grant's connection with the corrupt foreigh officials.
