Lakunle changes tactics, telling her as his lover to ignore the message. She informs her that the Lion (Baroka) wishes to take her as a wife. Then Sadiku appears wearing a shawl over her head. She admires the pictures of her in the magazine. Lakunle follows her, while carrying the firewood that Sidi asked him to help her get.

Baroka takes out his book, and muses that it has been five full months since he last took a wife. Lakunle runs away, followed by a flock of women. He is also pressed to drink much alcohol, and at the end of the play, he is close to vomiting. He then takes the opportunity to take more photos of Sidi.
Baroka seems to understand and orders a feast in the Lost Traveller's honour. He is hauled before Baroka, thrown on his face. The villagers once again start thirsting for his blood. He drops subtle hints of an existing feud between him and Lakunle, then makes the play continue. He talks to Lakunle for a while, saying that he knew how the play went and was waiting for the right time to step in. The cast assembles behind him, pretending to be villagers in an ugly mood hauling him to the maram in the town centre. He tries to take photos, but falls down into the stream. He takes a closer look and sees a girl (played by Sidi).

He hears a scream and a torrent of abuse. He hears a girl misbehaving, but attributes it to sunstroke, so he throws the bottle that he was drinking from in that general direction. He tries to start the "car", fails and takes his things for a trek. He gets out and checks the "wheels" and also pinches them. They shudder, and drop their faces onto their laps. Lakunle adjusts their position and sits in air in the middle. The four girls kneeled on the ground, forming the wheels of the car. They banter about for a while, Lakunle gave in and participated because he couldn't tolerate being taunted by them. Baroka is featured too, but he "is in a little corner somewhere in the book, and that corner he shares with one of the village latrines". There is a picture of Sidi on the front page, and a two-page spread of her somewhere inside. We also find out that the photographer made a picture book about the village based on the photos he took. He seeks to be excused to teach Primary Four Geography but Sidi informs him that the village is on holiday due to the arrival of the photographer/traveler.
Four girls act the "devil-horse", a youth is selected to play the snake, and Lakunle becomes the Traveller. They tease the traveller in the play, calling his motorbike "the devil's own horse" and the camera that he used to take pictures "the one-eyed box". As the village girls enter, they play "The Dance of the Lost Traveller", which features the sudden arrival of a photographer in their midst some time ago. Soon, a village girl came to announce to Sidi the arrival of the stranger and the photo album he brought along bearing pictures of the village. She tells him that not paying her bride price is mean and miserly. She also says that she finds the Western custom of kissing repulsive. Lakunle further professes how he wants to marry her and treat her "just like the Lagos couples I have seen". Sidi tells him that if she did so, people will jeer at her, saying that she is not a virgin. Eventually, it is revealed that Sidi does not want to marry him because Lakunle refuses to pay her bride-price as he thinks it is an uncivilized, outrageous custom. Lakunle also insults her saying that her brain is smaller than his because of her feminine gender(which proves his semi-literacy, mentioned at first), making her angry.Īfter arguing, Sidi wants to leave, but Lakunle tells her of his love for her, but she remains indifferent. She scolds him, saying that the village thinks he's stupid, but Lakunle says that he is not so easily cowed by taunts. Sidi says that it is too inconvenient for her to do so. He also tells her not to expose so much of her cleavage with the cloth she wears around her breasts. Lakunle tells her not to carry loads on her head or her neck may be shortened. She refuses, saying that she would look silly. Lakunle comes out and insists on taking the pail from Sidi. Two 11-year-old school children start ogling her, so he hits them on the head and leaves to confront her. The teacher peers out of the window and disappears. The play opens with a school teacher, Lakunle, who is teaching a class when Sidi walks fast carrying a pail of water on her head. It is divided into three parts: morning, noon, and night.
