Sure enough, Dr. Claw has a plan to use the circus as a cover for his latest nefarious plot. He has sent his henchmen to infiltrate the circus and steal a valuable artifact that is on display there. Gadget is blissfully unaware of all this, and continues to enjoy the circus attractions.

However, things take a turn for the worse when Gadget is offered the chance to perform in the circus himself. Seizing the opportunity, he dons a clown outfit and begins to perform a series of disastrous stunts - each of which causes chaos and destruction in the circus.
