Plot
At the circus, the gang performs their tricks while the crowd watches in amusement. As Twinkie juggles some items, Gutsy is still trying to think of a stunt. He sees Hippy making Honey jump through a hula hoop, and he gets an idea.

Gutsy orders Josh to push a large hoop on a pole. Judging the angles, he believes it is ready. He jumps into a cannon and blasts himself out, while Josh watches in suspense. However, he misses the hoop and the audience boos. Nearby, ringmaster Guddles whips a lion in its cage. Gutsy pushes him into the cage and he is savagely mauled by the lion.

Later, Josh measures the angles between the hoop and Gutsy, as well as the cannon's aim using measuring tape. He gives a thumbs up and Gutsy prepares to light the cannon. He then get the idea of setting the hoop on fire. Gutsy douses the hoop with oil and lights it with a match. Within seconds, the hoop and the entire circus tent are set aflame, killing many. Josh rushes out to safety with some burns, while Gutsy is fired from his cannon just in time to escape, but misses the ring once again.

With the tent burned down and surrounded by fire trucks, the act continues outside. Josh tries one more time to adjust the hoop and cannon. Gutsy jumps into the cannon, hoping for the best. Still juggling, Twinkie accidentally bumps into Josh, causing her to drop a few items and the hoop to roll away. Josh's glasses were also knocked off and he has difficulty seeing. He spots a diamond ring and mistakes it for the hoop, putting it on the pole.

Gutsy is fired from the cannon and makes a pose to go through the hoop with. Unfortunately, he gets forced into the tiny ring and squeezed out as thin red mush. Meanwhile, Twinkie is seen juggling more items, when she is run over by the rolling hoop.
