The circus comes to town and the three friends and Jerry can't resist sneaking inside to have a peak at the animals. Two ostriches manage to escape when Jerry opens the door to their cage and go running around town scaring the inhabitants and generally creating chaos. Jerry manages to lasso one of them and is dragged off in a butt of dust. Meanwhile the angry ring master forces the three friends to do all sorts of demeaning jobs in order to pay for the loss of the ostriches. In the end the ring master gets the ostriches back and is so pleased that he pays the boys for a job well done. Jerry, having been dragged way out of town by the ostrich, appears at that moment with an angry bus driver who takes the money from the three friends to pay for Jerry's ticket.
