A State of Crisis
Prismark104 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Sudden changes are afoot in New Orleans. City Commissioner John Colton is promoted and called back to Washington, he hastily says his goodbyes.

In his place is General Wheeler and there is an entirely new team in place. All of them seems to be the General's men. Yancy Derringer is unsure about the new broom in charge.

Major Alvin has been sent to Madame Francine's casino to look for counterfeit money. The general is determined to rid New Orleans of fake cash under orders from Washington.

Only Alvin claims to find counterfeit money and impounds everyone's money. He repeats this on other gambling houses.

Yancy and Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah are thrown in jail for objecting. Only they get a lucky break when pickpocket Jody Barker joins them He had lifted Alvin's pocket. He had once been involved in making copy documents. Now he is a forger.

The orders from Washington were not real. The General and his gang will take all the money and leave New Orleans, before they end up in some other city doing the same crime.

Well this is a heist story with the General as a plausible con man. Only you do think that if he has been carrying out the same gameplan, Washington would be on to him. Instead Yancy Derringer one ups him with the help of some forged documents.
