Synopsis:
The Atomic Knights go to New Orleans in search of doctors. New Orleans was not damaged too badly in the war, but it is now ruled by a tyrant king. The Knights locate a medical facility, but the doctors are all entranced. They discover that music awakens the entranced men, so they walk throught the streets playing jazz music. The king's guards attack them, but the music has successfully awoken the citizens, who then turn on the king and his men. The Knights then establish a medical school to train doctors for other settlements.
