Episode 1: Boyfriend

Circus Maestro gets into a turf war with a rival circus, just as the health and safety inspection is due. The circus is, of course, a death-trap, but luckily the inspector is more interested in chatting Lizzie up than closing the place down.

When Lizzie goes on a date with the safety inspector, the rest of the troupe are left to fend for themselves for the first time. Unfortunately this is exactly the night that the rival circus chooses to mount an attack.

Meanwhile, David the dog is kidnapped and Plonky the Clown experiments with a new act involving ferrets.

Episode 2: Skydiver

Circus Maestro has seen better days. Its founder is in prison for fraud and his daughter Lizzie is now struggling to recapture the glory days.

When the Circus's most popular performer breaks both legs, diving 50 feet into a suitcase, Lizzie is forced to look for a replacement.

The only volunteer is Boyco the acrobat, but as the most talented member of the troupe, Lizzie can't afford to risk injuring him. Her only other options are a Chinese hypnotist, a human cannonball with a deathwish and a small, unwilling dog.

With showtime looming, it looks as if Lizzie will have to do the skydive herself…

Meanwhile Plonky the Clown takes his performance to the streets and gets into a fight with a living statue.

Future episodes will appear on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Network TV Programme Information
