Oscar Diggs walked down the muddy path toward the circus tent.
" Come Come" said the carnival worker as he pointed toward the open tent. " Come see Miss Bettylou Gumption the gunslinging sharpshooting beauty".
Oscar walked around to the rear of the large tent as a barker began to shout. " Come and see the master of magic" he said as he pointed at the open tent entrance. " He will astound and amaze you, come in to experience the Great Oz".
" Oscar" a female voice said as Oscar entered the small trailer. " You only have five minutes to get ready".
" Ok". Five minutes later, he came out of the trailer wearing a turban and a magician's coat.
" You look stunning Oscar" she said as she straightened his coat and turban.
" Thank you Mavis" he said as he smiled. " Do you remember what I want you to do during the act?".
" Of course Oscar".
He opened the back flap of the tent. " Let's do it".
