Plot

Henry Bear, determined to turn his family into a circus act, subjects Mama Bear and Junyer Bear to a series of mishaps in their backyard. From failed unicycle stunts to disastrous high dives, their efforts end in chaos. When Henry reads the paper, he finds that the newspaper's date reads April 16, 1928. This makes him realize they missed the circus audition by 21 years, as their calendar reads August 1, 1949. Junyer runs to Mama in fear, and she says she tried to tell him. Now certain that all their training was for naught, he spirals into despair, questioning his family's abnormality. Desperate, he attempts suicide but is saved by Junyer's unwitting intervention. Junyer laments his actions, echoing Papa Bear's earlier frustration.
