Plot

In July 1890, Geppetto is finishing up his puppets for the Royal Puppet Festival. His son Pinocchio and his friend Lampwick skip school to go to a carnival. While there, they watch a presentation by the carnival's leader, Madame Flambeau. She gives a man with one shorter leg some of her Elixir, and his leg grows to the length of the other one. The carnival's dwarf then leads Pinocchio and Lampwick to "The Hall of Freaks", a place with a clown named Mister Laffy who washes his depressed face, an albino named Sizzler who can blow fire from his mouth (though ironic as he appears to be freezing), a large aquarium fish with human faces, a bearded lady named Loretta Largesse, and a fairy called "Blue" who only Pinocchio can see. They then return to Pinocchio's house and find Geppetto, who is very sick. Pinocchio and Lampwick then return to the carnival to each buy some of Madame Flambeau's Elixir. Volpe and Felinet, who are now fox and cat humanoids, lead them to Madame Flambeau. They don't have enough money for the Elixir, so they agree to work for her in the carnival. Lampwick drinks his Elixir and returns home, and Pinocchio gives his Elixir to Geppetto.
