Description:  Loralei Glutz is safely on her way west on a wagon train. However Martin and Tim are once again behind bars. Before Martin breaks them out, he draws Tim a map of where the CCTBS is located just in case they are separated. After they break out, they are ambushed. They awake at the wagon train where Loralei is taking care of them; she found them and feels she owes them for helping her get her money back. The only thing they are missing is the map. Martin deduces that whoever stole it must be on the wagon train and thinks that it is a map of a gold strike in California. They need to get back to the CCTBS before it may be apprehended by whoever stole the map. Of course, it is Tim and Martin's thief nemeses, Red and Pete, who are hiding out on the train. They kidnap Loralei and hold her as hostage in exchange for Tim and Martin forgetting about the map. Martin and Tim manage to find Red and Pete and Loralei - unharmed - and scare off the thieves. Martin and Tim and Loralei are then immediately abducted by some seemingly hostile Indians. So is Marshall Brennan. Martin feels he can better get out of the situation alone, so manages to break free and "appear" before the tribe as a spirit warrior, who tells the tribe he needs the three pale faces as a sacrifice. During their escape, which is almost thwarted by Marshal Brennan himself, Martin/Tim and Loralei/Brennan get separated. The Marshall and Loralei make their way to Yuma, where they call in the calvary to apprehend the prisoners, Martin and Tim. Meanwhile Martin and Tim make their way to Los Angeles, to the site of where Mrs. Brown's house should be. They can't find the CCTBS. But before they can continue looking, they have to fend off both the calvary and the expanded tribe of Indians after them. They find the CCTBS to transport themselves back to 1965 just as the calvary and Indians are ready to pounce upon them. Unfortunately, they bring back with them two unintended things: a broken but fixable CCTBS, and an Indian.
