Pinocchio takes on an errand for Geppetto but gets distracted by a circus flyer and tricked by two villains. Pinocchio has an unexpected adventure at the circus before he finally is able to complete his errand--only to find that had he not gotten distracted, he would have gotten an even better adventure.
