They arrive early, and, as hes been on a cleaning frenzy lately, Claude decides to tidy up the big top. In the process, he accidentally sabotages the performers equipment. But the show must go on--even if Claude and Sir Bobblysock have to put on the entire thing themselves nQuirky, delightfully odd, and positively surreal, Alex T.
