The Flying Boots are given a tank to be ferried to an island. They recall how circus owner Zig-Zag Zack was always barking "Show me!" a new act. Now Zack is here in the Navy, still not impressed. The Boots and their tank are attacked by dinosaurs at sea, on land, even carried in the air. They find a wrecked helicopter and Zack hanging from a parachute. He's silent as they lug him out to sea and aboard a PT boat. He was in shock with no memory of what happened! "Show me!"
