When the circus comes to town, The Monkees visit The Big Top--and discover that this particular circus is suffering from declining attendance. Embittered performers who have not been paid for some time blame this situation on rock'n'roll discotheques--an enmity personified when Victor, the circus' ace knife-thrower, attacks Davy with perfectly-aimed throws within inches of his face and threatens to call the police. Another performer, Susan, befriends The Monkees but is distraught when Victor delivers a written ultimatum to Pop, the circus' ringmaster. The Monkees then pose as aerial performers from France who wish to perform in the circus, which wins the confidence of Victor and other performers--but backfires on The Monkees when they are expected to actually perform the dangerous aerial tasks required. Forced to confess that they are in fact rock'n'roll singers, The Monkees are caustically shamed into leaving by the enraged Victor and the other performers, leaving Susan in tears, but Davy insists on doing something to help the circus, and The Monkees unexpectedly succeed in winning back the confidence of the other performers--except for Victor, who refuses to perform.
