He and Dijon set out to look for Entwhistle and finally discover him alive and well in a native village.

The commanders of several forts in the region have been murdered and Boyle fears for his life.

The inhabitants of the fort must put on a good show during the important annual treaty negotiations with the natives. Good food and entertainment are essential. When Blackfly finds that Misty Moon won't be available to do the cooking he turns to Lady Hammond, unfortunately Lady Hammond’s enthusiasm far outweighs her culinary skills. When Blackfly decides she should make a recipe they find in Misty Moon's old cookbook they have no idea they're dishing up a magical brew.

The truth is revealed in this documentary-style episode when the real facts come to light about an explosive incident in the history of Fort Simpson-Eaton... the night a company of American soldiers paid a less than friendly visit!

Every spring the fur trappers make their way to the fort determined to drink and gamble themselves into oblivion. Lady Hammond begs Blackfly to stop Colonel Boyle from gambling with them. Blackfly does as she asks but it's Lady Hammond herself that succumbs to the "Boyle Curse". To save Lady Hammond, now deep in debt to the trappers, Blackfly calls on an old acquaintance, Stateside Bobby, an unsavory gambler. Stateside fleeces the trappers and frees Lady Hammond but what he wants in return may be too much to pay.

The fort is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming lacrosse playoffs between the fort favourites, the Ojibway Eagles, captained by the Chief and the Huron Hornets.

When Blackfly inadvertently destroys most of the Hornets team, he and others at the fort take their places. Finally Blackfly will get the chance to show the Chief what a great player he is!

The Earl of Pickersaill, a personal favourite of King George, arrives at the fort determined to shoot buffalo. Ignoring the fact that buffalo live two thousand miles west, Boyle sends Blackfly and the Chief hunting with him. The Earl dies after a nasty run in with a moose and Blackfly has to find a way to avoid taking the blame.

Blackfly is awestruck when the great Ben Franklin turns up at the fort. Franklin is charming and even though Boyle has him arrested he mesmerizes everyone at the fort. Blackfly laughs when the Jesuit tells him Franklin practices the dark arts…that is, until he joins him for dinner.
