The Ahasuerus and Flint Traveling Sideshow is on the galactic road playing one backwater world after another. And Flint is running into problems he never envisioned. It's difficult to feel excitement or apprehension when the audience is larger and more dangerous-looking than the lion and bear the show has brought along from Earth. What good are rigged carnival games to a world that has no knowledge of games or gambling. And how is Butterfly Delight the star stripper to please an alien audience that is incapable of viewing her as a sex object? Unique problems require unique solutions and improvisation becomes the show's guiding light.
