Looking for the grave of African American actor Ira Aldridge, soldier of fortune Arron Day helps a team of Pinkerton detectives stop a robbery. A second story sees Arron in Spain, righting a wrong against an abused woman. And in the last piece, in illustrated text, Arron agrees to steal back some jewelry but must foil a double-cross. Fielder's excellent period-appropriate art makes judicious use of color to suggest the past.
