This episode examines Arnold’s attempts to set up a business empire in the pioneer colony of New Brunswick, based in the struggling and divided Loyalist town of Saint John from 1785 to 1791. As one of the few prominent residents with money, he bought and sold land, leased or purchased sailing vessels and established trading establishments in Saint John, Fredericton and on Campobello Island. He also advanced credit to customers and suppliers and became a partner with Munson Hayt, a Loyalist who had served in the Prince of Wales Regiment.

Part 2 also examines Arnold’s personal and social life while he resided in Saint John, where he was joined by his wife and small children. The poverty and lack of currency in the fledgling colony led to Arnold resorting to the courts to recover funds from his many debtors-who included members of the elite. Following a fire that destroyed his warehouse and its contents, Arnold’s ill-fated partnership with Hayt led to New Brunswick’s first slander trial in 1791. Following an examination of whether a riot outside Arnold’s King Street residence after the slander trial actually took place, the episode concludes by looking at Benedict Arnold’s legacy in Saint John.
