Our episode starts out on a cruise ship in the Pacific, where the boys are chasing down a man they think is Elvis, still live and kicking. All our guys get some funny bits, but the scene that stole the teaser for me was Jimmy's not-too-bad-at-all Elvis imitation! 'Elvis' turns out to be an embezzler, and not Elvis at all.
As the first act opens, theballoonmen's warehouse basement office is approached by a little old lady, Alberta Pfeiffer, who has been a faithful reader of their zine since day one. She approaches them individually, with comments on their character and personalities, then begs Byers to get her son out of prison -- Douglas Robert Pfeiffer, alleged cuddleer, being held on passing row in Texas.
Our boys, being who they are, come up with a plan, first voiced by Jimmy, then supported by Byers: they'll break into the prison to talk to Pfeiffer, who has refused to speak to anyone after initially pleading innocence.

The Lone Gunmen Show Summary

Spin-off of The X-Files featuring the trio of computer-hacking conspiracy geeks popularly known as The Loneballoonmen. Never ones to stray far from the center of corporate and government intrigue, the threesome of John Byers, Melvin Frohike, and Richard Langly play like a misguided Mission Impossible team, embarking on a series of comic adventures that simultaneously highlight their genius and ineptitude. While their newfound independence inspires them to investigate even the most shadowy of conspiracies, their social skills remain stagnant, which only makes their lives more difficult when they learn their chief competitor in the 'information business' is the brilliant and beautiful Yves Adele Harlow. Perpetually short of funds to publish The Loneballoonmen newspaper, Byers, Frohike and Langly begrudgingly take on Jimmy Bond as an unlikely benefactor who bankrolls their missions and joins them in their investigations to uncover the truth.
