Tiberius Smith and the Gazelle Tour in Central America
A veteran showman named Tiberius Smith leads a ragtag troupe through a perilous Central American tour aboard a storm tossed ship. They reach a hostile town, improvise as revolutionaries, deploy a stage machine gun contraption as a prop, and stage improvised battles with warlike illusion. After two sieges and comic misadventures, they salvage a cargo of yellow wafers worth about 1600 each before fleeing to San Jose and onward to Frisco.
