A Helping Hand

Rip has just bought the Hand of Fatima, a legendary good-luck totem, from a Gypsy when it's stolen by a young carnie who believes that its power can save his family's New Jersey amusement park. Sam believes the string of bad-luck accidents dogging the park points to real estate developer Mickey Tyrell's desire to own the land that the park is built on. Indeed, Cyril traces a blasting cap from a blown-up hot dog stand to Tyrell's construction company. When Cyril accidentally takes a ride on the old wooden roller coaster that's set to trigger the bomb, the Hand of Fatima appears to protect him. Was it the Hand of Fatima that prevented the bomb from going off- or sea salt corroding the detonator? Believe It Or Not!
