☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Barker encounters a romantic entanglement when Lulu Belle declares her love and asks for a kiss, but he becomes frustrated with Zargo's interference and plans to escape the circus. Meanwhile, the Barker and his associates attempt to capitalize on "Powerhouse Proon," a boxer offering a $5,000 prize to anyone who can last one round with him in the ring, scheming to split the winnings. In a separate adventure, the Barker encounters Historical Harold, who reveals sacred relics and a hidden gold cache connected to the ancient temple of Montezuma, leading to a pursuit involving treasure hunters and the mysterious Cortez attempting to reclaim the artifacts.
In "null," Carnie Callahan and Colonel Lane bring the Mammoth Circus to Mexico, where the promise of Aztec pageantry draws crowds eager for spectacle. But as the show unfolds, the crooked Noodles and Iggie Hootenfritz scheme to exploit the cultural display as a cover for their plan to crack Mexico’s gold stash—while the archaeologist Historical Harold watches, suspicious and uneasy.
