Synopsis:
While fishing, Green Arrow and Speedy hear a cry of pain. The cry originated from the castle of Andrew Bowling, an eccentric man who had the castle shipped to America stone by stone from England. When the archers investigate, they rescue Bowling from a gang of men costumed in brown cloaks. They were torturing the owner for information about a secret treasure.

After getting Bowling to safety, Green Arrow and Speedy return to the castle. They have another encounter with the gang who are now dressed in medieval suits of armor. Eventually Green Arrow deduces the location of the treasure. Kruger, the leader of the gang, gets there first. However, he releases a booby trap containing poison gas and is killed. Green Arrow recovers the treasure and leaves the rest of the gang for the police.
