The Greatest Little Western Show on Earth trundles into Mt. Thomas and Jo and Jack are sent to ward off pickpockets reported to be operating in the audience. They arrive to find the show's ringmaster, Sandy Rivers, challenging anyone to a whip-cracking competition. From the crowd emerges a handsome, rugged stranger who beats Sandy squarely at his own game and demands the $500 prize money. Sandy's show has seen better days, however, and with no prize money forthcoming the contest ends in fisticuffs. Down at the station, Sandy promises to pay the winner back once the ticket sales trickle in. Jo is intrigued by the stranger, who is reluctant to give his name and appears to have no family or fixed address. Like the stranger, Jo feels displaced in Mt. Thomas, where country folk welcome city slickers with folded arms. She takes it upon herself to settle him in, whether he likes it or not. Jack worries that Jo has misjudged the wanderer when Sandy Rivers is found bashed and Jo's gypsy comes under suspicion. They find him camped illegally by a riverbed and killing protected wildlife for food. The stranger's name is Janos Molnar and he denies the attack on Sandy. Jo trusts Janos and offers him her bed at the pub to get him out of the bush. She bunks in with Jack, much to his delight and embarrassment. Jack is clearly infatuated with Jo, who remains clueless as to her own charms. Janos mixes with the wrong crowd at the pub and Jo overhears that he may be involved in a scam at Sandy's show. The gig is up when Janos challenges Sandy to another whip-cracking eventdouble or nothingand wins the competition. The Heelers investigate and find Janos's crooked mates, Stacker and Compo, had run a book against him and owe their punters hundreds of dollars. Now Janos is missing. Sandy Rivers rings to report the theft of his collection of antique guns and Janos lands firmly in the frame. Tom suspects he is an illegal immigrant running from town to town, chased by trouble, and Jo's just run out of excuses to protect him.moreless
