Kids will love this puppet show from Dragon Theater Puppets and Princesses! The Ringmaster tries to have the greatest circus on the earth. But everything goes wrong, the elephants keep falling over, the lion is on the loose and the clowns run amuck. But the show must go on. They must find a way to renew and repeat the acts correctly. In the end they will find out how to recycle and save the circus.
