direction of the voice and hears a splash. He slowly creeps through the brush to see where he threw his flask, and his eyes begin to widen. He then takes out his camera and snaps several pictures until he accidently slips. Lakunle loses his footing and falls into the pool of water where Sidi has been bathing. Sidi then appears wearing nothing but a towel, and Lakunle is soaked when he returns to the stage. Sidi runs off the stage and returns with a group of angry villagers. They then take the lost traveler to see the Bale, who is behind the Odan tree in the center of the village. Instead of punishing the lost traveler, Baroka holds a feast in his honor and gets the photographer drunk. Baroka allows the foreigner to take pictures of Sidi before he gets too drunk and leaves the party. Lakunle then exits the scene, which signifies the end of the "dance of the lost traveler."

Lakunle plays the role of the traveler who gets lost and ends up visiting the village of Ilujinle. At the beginning of the mime scene, the traveler is driving through the jungle when his car suddenly breaks down. After multiple attempts to fix his vehicle, the traveler ends up walking through the jungle. During his journey, he becomes unnerved after encountering a snake and monkey. He begins to chug his whiskey when he hears the voice of a female. He throws his bottle in the direction of the sound and hears a splash, then a scream. The traveler then looks through a clearing in the trees and begins to take multiple pictures. Suddenly, he slips and ends up falling into a pool of water. Sidi then appears on stage wearing a towel as Lakunle follows her out. The traveler is then led by an angry mob to the center of town where Baroka unexpectedly treats him graciously. The Bale holds a feast in the traveler's honor and allows him to take pictures of Sidi. The lost traveler gets drunk during the feast and the villagers send him on his way to end the mime scene.
