Jimmy goes to Sunday school, where he scares the teacher with a frog. As a punishment, he is not allowed to go to the picnic. A note about the company “NV De Zon” gives him the idea to set up the Circus Buffalo Bill. He gets his friends involved, holds rehearsals, and hands out folders. The performance, featuring cowboys and Indians and culminating in the arrival of Buffalo Bill on a donkey, is a great success.

Cast: Tefft Johnson, George S. Stevens (1860-1940), Edwina Robbins, Bobby Connelly, Mabel Kelly
