Summary
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor and Ham come across Bozo, the hobo with one leg and asks him if he wants to be in a desert freak show. He tells them yes if they give him something to eat. Castor buys a cow's front leg from Pete. They put it on Bozo and go out and advertise a man with a cow leg show. They get a very large group of people to come see the how. The curtain opens and Bozo has the cow leg cooking over a fire. The angry crowd chases after Castor and Ham.
  • Sappo: John, at the cliff, has a dummy of himself. He calls Myrtle and tells her he is committing suicide. She comes running to the cliff holding a rolling pin. He tells her she has hit him for the last time because he is jumping off the thousand-foot cliff.
