Using his keen crime fighting abilities, Tracy quickly comes to the conclusion that the murderer of poor Louise Trapeze is a member of the circus, which means that we then had to endure a listing of many of the performer's names, each more punny than the last until they come to Mr. Pops (who bares a slight resemblance to known Tracy villain Flattop, but that could just be in my mind because I believe him to be guilty. It's the eyes, I tell ya! The eyes!), who can't seem to fathom that Tracy would even think that he'd be capable of committing a murder, even though his act appeared to have something to do with shooting a gun, and Louise was killed by one. I can't imagine why Tracy might suspect him, can you? (Of course, knowing this comic, I'm probably wrong.)

As Ringo continues to refuse to believe that one of his performers could be a murderer, Tracy continues on his train of thought, making a very valid explanation that that second note arrived pretty soon after he took on the case. Things aren't looking too good. Looks like Ringo didn't do a good enough background check on the people he hired for his circus. Hope he's got a good lawyer or the circus might be shut down for good (not that Tracy would see that as a bad thing, but think of the children).
