The Smell of the Grease Paint certainly fits the bill for a 'strange mission', with Arthur encountering a clan of travelling performers just south of the mining town of Annesburg.

At the Saloon, Arthur will encounter a large man called Bertram, and a woman called Miss Marjorie. The latter is in distress at the prospect of one of her band having gone missing, while the former attempts to entertain himself at the bar. Eventually, he gets into a fight with the barkeep, which leads to Arthur's intervention.

Once Bertram's been dealt with, Marjorie asks Arthur to find her other performer - a magician by the name of Magnifico. Eventually, should the player choose to return to Saint Denis, they can actually watch a show starring the group, which is icing on the cake.
