(3) K-3 Bubbles, a monkey, is the circus's star; gorilla Oop is basically his roadie. Oop wants more, and when Bubbles is injured, she steps in and finds that Bubbles makes it look easier than it is. Bubbles and Oop are reminiscent of an old-time Hollywood comedy duo, and their story is enhanced by slapstick illustrations and a cynical but clever ending.
