Brain vs. Brawn

The Little Circus is set up in a country town. Its big top is deserted. Down the road, a throng is gathered in front of a wrestling stand. It's "Musclor," a company of wrestlers led by fat Herta, who watches over her athletes, Stranger, Skin and Sledgehammer. After the first confrontation between Swift and Skin, the tension between the Little Circus and Musclor mounts. The fat Herta is vexed and challenges the troupers. The Little Circus vs. Musclor- this promises to be quite a spectacle! The fight that begins appears to be quite unevenly matched. Musclor's wrestlers are real athletes, while our friends in the Little Circus don't make the weight and are rather comical. Yet, in the end, the troupers celebrate their victory, while the vanquished wrestlers take down their stall. In front of the big top filled with spectators, Cleopatra suggests that the wrestlers stay because, according to her, there's room for everyone if they decide to work together. After all, these giants are just big babies with soft hearts.
