About Putt-Putt Joins the Circus

Details
Putt-Putt is traveling to the circus in Apple Valley when a goat eats his ticket! The circus train offers to give him a ride so he can try and figure out a way to see the show without a ticket — and he arrives to find the circus in disarry! Ringmaster B. J. Sweeney recruits him to help out, and so Putt-Putt must help out the main acts of Honko the Clown, Philippe the Flea, Reginald the Lion, Katie Cannonball, and the Flying Porkowskis — and probably every other act in the circus as well.
