Makes a statement about the desensitizing effect of imaginary violence in an allegorical tale about four performers who entertain at a small Midwestern train station. Shows the audience's reaction to the jester, strongman, and ballerina and moves to the macabre as the magician saws the ballerina in half. Pauses as the crowd waits for the magician to rejoin the severed halves, but the troupe departs.
