Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	Big Bird presents the sponsors before meeting Guntag Gelman Jones, who will be showing off his flea circus today in front of The Furry Arms Hotel. "It's a teeny-tiny circus, but the excitement and thrills are big time!" says Jones.
	SCENE 1	Guntag's show begins, having attracted a small crowd of spectators. Humphrey and Ingrid, as well as Big Bird, are impressed that Miss Netherland is able to accurately predict which acts will occur (including Fritz and Frieda on the trapeze, Titania and her tightrope act, and Olaf the weight-lifting flea). Miss Netherland reveals that she's not prophetic - she's just reading the information from the show's program. It next reads "duck," which confuses everyone until Guntag announces the cannonball act. "DUCK!!"

	SCENE 2	Inside the hotel, Humphrey is disappointed the circus didn't have the types of acts regular circuses have. He was especially looking forward to seeing Guntag stick his head in a flea's mouth (or vice versa). Benny Rabbit and others point out it'd be impossible since either their mouths or heads are too big or small to do it. The monsters perform the act on each other (and Guntag) instead until Benny blows up at their ridiculousness. The others then realize that Benny's head is much smaller, but Benny won't have any of it and a crazy chase ensues.

	SCENE 3	Guntag has to leave for awhile and Miss Netherland puts Humphrey and Ingrid in charge of the fleas. To keep them safe, they decide to put their travelling box there (across from the front desk), but start fumbling all over the lobby when there turns into here. An annoyed Benny witnesses everything and intervenes, so the couple decides Benny should be in charge of the fleas. The box ends up falling out of their hands and paws and scatters the fleas everywhere. Soon, everyone is itching!
