Hansel and Hilda, were the two most popular performers of the Hart & Heart Bros Circus. Hansel or The Mighty Hans as he was widely know, was the Circus' Strong-Heart. In his act he would lift, pull, push or bend seemingly unbendable or unbreakable objects. Hilda was the circus' Heart-Throb, her enchanting good looks and death defying knife-throwing act kept audiences from all across the land on the edge of their seats.


Hansel a hopeless romantic and closet amateur poet was hypnotized by Hilda's beauty from the day she joined the troupe. Not wanting to mix work and play Helena repeatedly resisted all of Hansel's advances, which were usually hidden within his many feats of strength. On one such occasion, Hansel painted 1000 pink hearts on Lucy the Circus Elephant and then lifted her above his head while balancing on one toe. Hilda thought this was sweet but far too corny for her. In a final act of desperation Hansel slipped a haiku he had written entitled two strong hearts under Hilda's door. Upon reading his poem Hilda discovered that they were both closet amateur poets, and decided to ask The Mighty Hans over to her circus trailer for dinner.
