Scampy the boy clown believes kindness works better than cruelty when training animals, so he sets out to prove it by secretly teaching Tyranno's bear, Teddy, some tricks while the harsh trainer is away.

It's a clever battle of wits that teaches Claude a valuable lesson about pranks.

Cliffy the Clown makes a reckless bet with Rudy Trixem, the bandmaster of a rival circus, wagering he can master baton twirling in just three days—or face buying his rival a month's worth of chocolate sundaes. Mary Hartline, Queen of Super Circus, agrees to coach him through an intense practice regimen, but as the showdown approaches, Cliffy may need more help than even the best instructor can provide.
