Col. Rimfire reads a newspaper ad announcing a $1,000 reward for a live tiger. He spots Cool Cat, and the chase is on again...this time the hunter herding the tiger to the circus. The two chase each other through a series of the usual acts (e.g., the Indian snake charmer, arcade games, the seal act, the human cannonball and sticking the head into the lion's mouth). Each time, Col. Rimfire gets the worst end of the act. However, he temporarily evens the score by calling Cool Cat's bluff as Asbesto, the Fire Eater (by forcing him to swallow fire). After a round on the trapeze, the ringmaster (who has been observing the goings-on) decides to hire both Col. Rimfire and Cool Cat for his upcoming shows, offering $500 to join the show. Both accept, but Cool Cat divides their first week's wages ("Four for you and one, two, three, four for me!").
