Born as a girl’s challenge towards an undesired suitor, the search for the real origin of jokes is transformed into a tragic adventure, which ends with the loss of human lives. Even Martin Mystère is involved, and in the Nevada desert, he discovers a mind-boggling truth: the jokes which, for centuries, have been passed from mouth to mouth, overcoming linguistic and political borders, are part of a centuries-old plan to condition the will of Men !
