West and Gordon are escorting President Grant to San Franciso and make a stopover in Gibsonville, where he has been invited to dedicate a statue of a fallen Union hero. West rides ahead only to find the town deserted; a series of mysterious murders accompanied by equally mysterious organ music has driven most of its inhabitants away. President Grant, however, insists on going through with the ceremony. He gives the agents 24 hours to figure out what's going on and put a stop to it.
