Undertaker Looey Joins Patter Show and Travels On

In a rural town Dr. Kirby and I observe a Grand Army procession when Looey, a former audience member turned undertaker apprentice, accepts a partnership offer from his aunt to open a funeral business. He later joins a county fair sideshow with Watty Sanders, becoming wild man and spear-armed act, while Dolly the fat lady and others stir tensions until the show disbands and we move on.

Dr Kirby Plans Balloon Show In Small Town

Dr Kirby and two jugglers salvage a busted circus balloon and stage a street theater idea. They rent a schoolyard, fill the balloon, and advertise an airborne illusion with a mock Alonzo Ackerman to draw a crowd. The talk builds, a fierce heckler threatens trouble, and the doctor declares a dramatic balloon ascent to rescue the act.
