Joe Robertson, Governor John Patterson's executive secretary, got into an argument with a house member, angrily called him an s.o.b. The ensuing fistfight was broken up by Public Safety Director Floyd Mann. While state troopers moved into the chambers to prevent other fights, the filibuster droned on.

In 90 minutes it wolfs down an Indian massacre, two murders, a barroom brawl, an earthquake, a fistfight on a cliff top and a mess of hocus-pocus dealing with the whereabouts of a fabulous treasure trove.
