Anton, Blake and Carlo see that there is a circus in town. One night, they wait until after the circus show has finished. When they believe that everyone has left, Blake bends back one of the pegs of the circus tent. When Blake pulls the tent up to enable them to crawl inside it, the tent rips slightly.

Once inside, the boys start clowning around in the performance arena. Anton rushes at Blake to give him a bear hug and as a result Blake falls on the floor laughing. Carlo then sits on top of Blake and starts bouncing up and down. Blake laughs but then shouts that he has had enough. Carlos ignores Blake and keeps bouncing on his lap.

Anton finds some knife throwing equipment. The boys decide to have a go. Carlo agrees to stand in front of the target whilst Anton throws the knives. One knife misses the target and causes a small cut on Carlo's arm.

Having heard noises, Ramos and Stevo, two circus workers, enter the big tent. On seeing them enter, Anton, Blake and Carlo run towards the exit. Blake and Carlo manage to run out of the tent and Stevo chases after them. Outside the tent, Blake and Carlo run in different directions. Blake runs to their car. Stevo grabs a hammer planning to smash open the car door in order to catch Blake.

Ramos blocks Anton's exit and shouts, 'You're lucky I'm not in the mood to fight with little boys tonight!' Anton shouts back, 'Yeah like I'm frightened of you!' Ramos then grabs Anton and punches him in the head. Anton falls to the ground and Ramos raises his fist to hit him again. Due to a pre-existing medical condition, Blake immediately loses consciousness.

Carlo returns to the tent and sees Ramos hitting Anton. Carlo jumps onto Ramos, trying to wrestle him away from Anton. Carlo bites so hard on Ramos' ear that part of it tears off.

Carlo, chased by Ramos, exits the tent and runs into the animal enclosure. Carlo sees a trainer's whip. He grabs it and swings it at Ramos but the whip misses and hits a dog, which was lying on the floor. The whip cuts the dog's face. Carlo screams at Ramos, 'Stay away from me or I swear I will smash this place to pieces!'

Carlo runs into a nearby room and barricades himself in. Ramos bangs and kicks on the door. The door frame cracks but the door will not open. At that moment police officers arrive.
