(The circus poster was pasted over one from a Columbia Pictures feature "The Man Who Returned to Life.") The boys soon realize that their pay consists of tickets to the circus, but when Curly finds a huge roll of tickets, the trio start scalping them at discount price. After that they pursued by two men who wanted to arrest them for selling tickets for even money which is against the law, Curly destroys the Bearded lady (which she is a Circus freak) and he and Larry disguise themselves as a horse which Curly always loves to impersonate. After being caught by the circus owner (Herman as well) and the local sheriff (Bud Jamison) who was about to take them to prison forever, Herman decides to hire the Stooges as human targets for the spear-throwing "Sultan of Abudaba" (Duke York) but however they managed to escape from the Spear thrower by jumping into a crater Curly created after he fell from the high wire.
