Synopsis
The circus travels to Gay Bay, where they found their camp on the waterfront, and they tried to devise new ways to wow folks with aquatic tricks. Instead, they are terrorized by Froggo, who could stay underwater for 20 minutes. While the Colonel thought Froggo to be the ultimate act, in reality the performer was bilking the circus for cash.
