The boys want to join in as well but are refused entry by Bill Sikes currently working as the circus' security guard since they're broke. So, the boys dress up as clowns and sneak in with ease. After Sikes naively mistakes the real clowns for the boys and locks them up, the boys decide to take their places in the upcoming act in order not to disappoint Annushka but to no avail once they find themselves surrounded and chased by lions and tigers. After Annushka fails to free the real clowns; thanks to Sikes' stupidity, thieves plan to steal all the money they earned from the paying customers. Luckily, with a little help from a monkey, Annushka helps free the clowns to save the act after the boys' own act against a pursuing Sikes leaves the crowd laughing. After Annushka joins in the act with the clowns and succeeds, Charlie discovers the theft, so, the boys decide to save the circus.
