A picture postcard of early Americana – when the circus came to town on brightly painted wagons pulled by large teams of horses – when the huge tent city was set up on a twenty acre field bringing magic to a small town – and when every young boy wanted to run away and join the circus. Faithfully adapted from the classic book by James Otis in seven heartwarming episodes. Episode 1: Toby Joins the Circus. Young Toby Tyler runs away from his Uncle and joins the Castle Circus. Episode 2: The Accident. Toby is befriended by two stars of the side show, Mr. and Mrs. Treat; Mr. Lord continues his stern abuse, and Toby makes plans to escape. Episode 3: Mrs. Treats Dinner Party. Mrs. Treat cooks a Sunday dinner in Toby’s honor – and he brings the impish monkey “Mr. Stubbs” with him. Episode 4: Toby’s Misfortune. Toby loses the money he has saved to run away with. Episode 5: Toby Learns to Ride. Mr. Castle trains Toby to become a bareback rider in the show. Episode 6: Monsieur Ajax. Toby makes his debut under the big top! Episode 7: Off For Home. Toby runs away for home after becoming the star of the show – and Mr. Lord and Mr. Castle are in pursuit.
