Popee, an apprentice clown, and his assistant, Kedamono, attempt various circus acts and go about their daily lives as performers. Things have a way of going wrong, however—whether it's a blinding rage, burning jealousy, or even something as simple as hunger, and their mentor, Papi, is little help to the chaos they tend to find themselves in.
