Prank caught by a tourist worker in turn (5)

I believe the answer is:

caper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prank' is the definition.
(I know that prank can be written as caper)

'caught by a tourist worker in turn' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tourist worker' becomes 'rep' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters turning around).
'rep' backwards is 'per'.
'c'+'a'+'per'='CAPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for caper that I've seen before include "bound" , "game" , "Flower bud used in cooking" , "practical joke" , "Dance; pickled bud" .)
