Super Circus #5

When a rainy night drives the circus folk to shelter in an abandoned house, Mary, Scampy, and the Ringmaster discover a mysterious mirror that reveals uncomfortable truths about their inner nature—transforming each of them into the very animals their personalities resemble. As they search for answers within the old dwelling, they encounter an enigmatic magician who whisks them away on an extraordinary journey through time itself. What they learn from this strange enchantment becomes a lesson none of them will ever forget.

Ringmaster Claude Kirchner has been bragging about his way with animals, so when Cliffy and Scampy try to scare him with a fake bear costume, Claude sees right through the prank—but a real trained bear named Tiny, brought by a hopeful trainer named Eric Schmidt, shows up that very night with very different results. Claude's confidence with the animal kingdom gets put to the test in ways he didn't expect, and Eric's gentle giant may just have found a home at the circus.

Nicky gets caught up in a thrilling cowboy picture at the movies, and his excitement spills over into an imagined adventure where he becomes Sheriff Nicky chasing the outlaw Black Ben and his gang. As Nicky and his reluctant deputy Edgar pursue the criminals to their hideout, the situation spirals into chaos—with Black Ben and his gang turning the tables and setting a deadly trap that forces our young hero and his bumbling partner to scramble for their lives.

When Teddy Benson gets discouraged about an upcoming diving contest against the showoff Al Carter, Cliffy steps in as an unlikely coach—and discovers that a week of dedicated training might just give the underdog a fighting chance. As the competition day arrives and the crowd gathers to judge the divers by applause, Teddy puts Cliffy's lessons to the test against a rival who's convinced he can't possibly lose. It's a spirited reminder that sometimes the best coaching comes wrapped in humor and heart.
