Episode #15

"Circus Time at Benita's"



Episode Summary:
"The Amazing Circus" has been cancelled, because Benita Bizarre paid them *not* to come. Since the whole town is now in the dumps, the Bugaloos decide to put on their own circus in place of it! Magico the Magnificent comes to help out and hypnotizes Sparky into thinking that he's the "Bravest Person in the World". Armed with this new bravery, he flies off to pick a fight with Benita Bizarre. He doesn't get very far, but now she thinks that Magico could use hypnosis to make her the "Greatest Singer in the World". She promptly kidnaps him and the Bugaloos plan a scheme to rescue him.

Closing Song: "Believe"
    Believe, frowns are reserved for circus clowns
    Believe, smiling will pick you up off the ground
    Only the lucky ones, are those who can

    Believe, growling's reserved for the lion's den
    Believe, laughing is God's special gift to man
    So roll out each morning, and give out the warning
    To the world that being down is out of style

    Believe, suspicion is what made the tiger mean
    Believe, trusting in people makes life a dream
    So roll out each morning, and give out the warning
    To the world that being down is out of style

    Believe, frowns are reserved for circus clowns
    Believe, smiling will pick you up off the ground
    'Cause only the lucky ones, are those who can ... believe
    Only the lucky ones, are those who can ... believe
