Plot Overview

Lucas and Mark are friendly with their neighbor, Able "Abe" Lincoln. Not only does Able have a remarkable resemblance to the former President, he thinks he is the former President. Everyone in North Fork accepts that Able is a bit touched, but he is a pleasant man who causes no harm to anyone so almost everyone goes along. In the local saloon however, a stranger makes fun of him and Able challenges him to a wrestling match where the man's arm is broken. The stranger, who fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy and harbors resentment toward the real Abraham Lincoln, then determines to get his revenge on the "President".
