Tensions are exacerbated by Billys constantly pushing himself despite being injured and the arrival of a promoter named Bontempi Martin Ferrero, who wants to represent the troupe.After Billy spends a night in jail watching a member of his troupe beaten because Billy has refused a payoff to a corrupt local cop, Billy returns to the fairground where the troupe is next to perform and is shocked that some members want to join with the promoter. His sense of betrayal is heightened when his queen, Linet Amy Ingersoll, admits that her feelings for him may not be the reason she remains with the troupe. ........
