Plot:
The Three Stooges put up some circus posters, and are paid off in tickets. Once inside the grounds, they acquire more tickets, and begin to sell them cut-rate. The circus detectives spy them, and give chase. After much dodging they are about to be arrested when the boss of the circus decides to use them as human targets for the wild spear thrower. They are tied down to their targets, but manage to get loose before any great damage is done. The wild man is enraged and gives chase. Curley is finally trapped atop a tight rope walk, but his comrades hold what seems to be a life net for him to jump into. He jumps, and it turns out to be an ordinary hoop with him and the other two going down through a deep hole in the ground.
