Doug and Tony are transported to New Orleans where Tony steals two buckskins for them to wear. They are captured by the British Seventh Royal Regiment commanded by Colonel 'The Butcher' Southall. They find themselves behind the British lines in the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom where they are mistakenly taken to be spies. They go to a partial court martial and sentenced to be executed by firing squad by The Butcher. Furthermore they realize that the day is 07 January 1815, the eve of the ultimate attack of Colonel Southall against the strongest side of Commander Andrew Jackson's defenses, when the British officer led his men to a slaughter. Meanwhile General Kirk invites the British General Phillip Southall, who is a descendant of The Butcher, to visit The Time Tunnel facility to feed the personnel with information about his ancestor.
