Plot
Putt-Putt and Pep encounter a hungry goat blocking the road to Apple Valley while traveling to see B.J. Sweeney's Big Top Circus. After coaxing the goat off the tracks with a flower bush, the goat eats Putt-Putt's circus ticket. The train Roll-Along Cassidy gives them a ride to the circus, where B.J. Sweeney explains that all five main performers—Honko the Clown, The Flying Porkowskis, Phillipe the Flea, Reginald the Lion, and Katie Cannonball—are having problems. Putt-Putt volunteers to help each act, and after doing so, Sweeney allows him to perform. Putt-Putt presses a button to open a curtain, and the five stars perform their tricks, ending the game.
