After Oscar reports two experienced OSI agents dead of rattlesnake bites, Steve travels to Morgantown, Georgia. There, he finds that every business is named for someone named Willis. This proves to be a certain Bo Willis, who is running a distillery in a supposedly dry county, with Sheriff Weems in on the take. He also learns that the network of payoffs includes Charles Quinten, a high-powered lawyer representing factions all the way to Washington. Steve's only ally is a kindly woman, Middy, whose husband has also been killed by "snake bite," and whose store has been confiscated by Willis.

  • After Oscar reports two experienced OSI agents dead of rattlesnake bites, Steve travels to Morgantown, Georgia. There, he finds that every business is named for someone named Willis. This proves to be a certain Bo Willis, who is running a distillery in a supposedly dry county, with Sheriff Weems in on the take. He also learns that the network of payoffs includes Charles Quinten, a high-powered lawyer representing factions all the way to Washington. Steve's only ally is a kindly woman, Middy, whose husband has also been killed by "snake bite," and whose store has been confiscated by Willis. Steve tries to order some of Willis's moonshine in the supposedly dry county, and eventually is arrested and locked in the sheriff's office. Steve breaks out, unseen, and discovers a shipment of moonshine being made in a vehicle labeled as a gasoline tanker. The tank is filled with liquor, but two small tanks are fitted into the openings and filled with gasoline to allay suspicions. Steve mounts the truck while Kermit is driving it, opens the tank hatches and smashes the small tanks, emptying their gasoline into the liquor, then he returns to the jail. The moonshiners dump the load into their underground storage, then one takes a drink from the load while it is still being dumped--and discovers the gasoline taste. Kermit discovers the damaged small tanks, and they realize the whole underground tank is full of ruined moonshine. Weems returns to the jail to find Steve still locked up, though not smelling the gasoline that should still have left a residue on Steve's clothes and arm. (See "Gaffes," below.) Later, Steve is able to cause more mayhem, and claim that his "gang", which nobody has seen, is doing it all.
