Wild Wild West: Loveless's Ladies

In the post-Civil War American West, two secret agents, the suave James West and the eccentric Artemus Gordon, are recruited by President Ulysses S. Grant to stop the nefarious Dr. Arliss Loveless. Loveless, a brilliant but twisted inventor, plans to use his colossal, steam-powered mechanical spider to conquer the United States. The unlikely duo must overcome their differences and a host of futuristic contraptions to save the nation from destruction.
