Kindhearted Miss Priscilla Purity (Emily Morgan), owner of a wee orphanage in Encampment and her beau Hugh Dono (Hunter Hammer), have become entangled within the wrongdoings of the evil Victor Vornado (Kevin Krouch). In exchange for Miss Purity's overcrowded home, which is a kind residence for orphans, Victor says he will give her a huge house with a large lot, also ideal for the traveling Miss Serendipity's (Jane Boykin) ragtag circus. The mismatched twins (Vicki Loftice & Lauren Buford) run away to see the circus and discover that not only is there no abode for Priscilla and the orphans, but also the land she has traded for has a layer of black gunk on it. How can the circus be saved? Come share with a delightful cast and hilarious romp this melodrama that literally clowns around!
