The night Mr Big Top was gunned down on the streets of Aberystwyth,
everyone knew who'd done it - the Druids - the same guys who built
Stonehenge, although they'd changed a bit since those days. Now they
were just a bunch of wiseguys into racketeering and extortion. They ran
the girls too, the ones who stood in shop doorways wearing stovepipe
hats, with a 'come hither' look in their eyes. Everything about the
case spelled Trouble, and Aberystwyth's only Private Investigator,
Louie Knight, wasn't a great admirer of Trouble. Disenchanted with his
life, Louie had decided to pull down the blinds and let the crazy world
pass by. As for Trouble, he didn't give a hoot, just so long as it
didn't come knocking on his door. And then it did, in the shape of
Calamity Jane, schoolgirl and aspiring Private Eye, and determined to
crack the case . The investigation leads them into the seedy world of
Aber's End of the Pier show: the world of the balloon twister, the
bearded lady, and the Amazing Mr Marmalade - not forgetting Louie's
nemesis, former games teacher turned lion tamer, Herod Jenkins.



A BBC/Cymru Wales production, produced and directed by Kate McAll.
