Mulligan's Western circus - his troupe, his lion and his elephant - arrive in town under the escort of Lucky Luke. Zilch, a rich businessman and organiser of the annual grand rodeo, thinks the circus is going to compete with his business and is determined to prevent it from putting on a show. Zilch even hires killer-for-hire Rattlesnake Joe - but in the end his attempts prove even more publicity for the circus.
The character of Lucky Luke became a legend thanks to Morris (his creator) and Goscinny. These two giants of the 9th art collaborated with passion for more than 20 years until the death of the famous scriptwriter. Goscinny is the author of the well-known Asterix, which he launched with Uderzo. He also co-authored Iznogoud with Tabary. In 1992, Morris received the "Grand Prix Special 20eme Anniversaire" from the international comics show at Angouleme, and in 1998, the French Minister of Culture decorated him with the rank of "Officier des Arts et des Lettres."
