Experience
Slave Cage


The Twins are joyously reunited at last and the prisoners overtake their evil captors as the Wheel of Death takes center stage in a awe-inspiring display of epic feats. The two artists balance and control the spinning of the apparatus from their opposing cages attached to the center axle. As one runs and jumps on the outside of one cage the other controls the speed by walking or running inside the other cage.

We return to the Archers' Den where the Death Machine has been completed and the enslaved former citizens of the Empire (including the captured Nursemaid and Valets) toil away in the mines.

The jealous and vengeful Counselor's son, designer of the Death Machine, now senses he has enough support and admiration amongst the Archers' forces to stage a coup. Having had his heart broken by the Chief Archers' Daughter he captures the Chief Archer and assumes command of the Archers' forces.

The Counselor's Son's fiendish Death Machine (Wheel of Death) is powered by slaves running in hamster-wheel cages on both ends of a long rotating pendulum arm. We recognize the two slaves in the Wheel of Death as former members of the Imperial Court. While operating the machine, the slaves escape out of the cage and brazenly taunt their captives by performing elaborate and dangerous stunts on the moving Death Machine.

The enslaved Empire is inspired by the courage of the two slaves and while the Archers are distracted by the events, the Empire rises up and revolts against its captors, the bravery of the two slaves in the Wheel of Death begins to turn the tide in the war. In the confusion, the Chief Archer's daughter is able to rescue her father from captivity.

Meanwhile, in the course of their separate adventures the Twins reunite and joyously celebrate their reunion. Together they will fight for the freedom of the Empire.
