The
Story
A travelling circus arrives in the town of Dukonoo led by
Silver the Ring leader and backed up by a tom puss - the sinister
Tooth. The circus folk entice the villagers with gambling, drink
and other activities. Despite the warnings of Lady - the village
mystic and Mikey the progressive young farmer, the villagers
waste their money without a care.
Things become even more complicated when Tooth takes a liking
to Sanna, Lady's daughter, and bewitches her. Silver who has
also been under Tooth's control is horrified when he realises
that Tooth's latest conquest is in fact his daughter whom he
has not seen in twenty years.
Silver, asks Lady to help him free Sanna from Tooth's grasp,
and Mikey - worried about his girlfriend joins in the fight
as well. However, Tooth's power proves to be too strong for
Lady and she has to call for help from other worldly spirits.
Once again with Silver and Mikey's assistance and her "magic
powder" Lady is able to free Sanna and chase Tooth out
of town.
