The episode begins with Juan and Sam casually walking in the street when they stumble upon a flyer advertising the arrival of the circus in town. Sam excitedly persuades Juan to accompany him to the show.

Meanwhile, Gizmo takes advantage of the empty store and goes through Mr. Wing's belongings in search of his origins, trying to gather some knowledge about his species. Gizmo finally comes across a picture of his family, which leaves him heartbroken and nostalgic. He decides to embark on a journey to find his family, and along the way, he meets a wide range of characters, including a wise old goat, a friendly horse, and others. While Gizmo is on his journey, danger looms in the town due to a mischievous mogwai who makes an appearance at the circus.

As they make their way to the circus, Sam buys the tickets, but he is mistakenly handed one more ticket than he intended to purchase. Upon realizing his mistake, Sam attempts to return the ticket, but Juan convinces him otherwise, saying that keeping the extra ticket will give him good luck. However, not long after arriving at the circus, the boys realize that the supposed good luck has turned into a maniacal threat that could destroy the town.

The mogwai, whom Gizmo has never seen before, is now at the circus wreaking havoc with the help of a group of mischievous gremlins. This mogwai has no respect for the rules and quickly multiplies, endangering the town with their destructive antics.

The circus's management, led by an austere ringmaster, is aware of the mishap and tries to contain the situation by capturing the malicious creatures. However, their efforts only make things worse, as the mogwai and gremlins fight back fiercely, causing the attendees to flee the circus.

Amidst the chaos, Gizmo appears and takes on the role of a hero, becoming a beacon of hope for the town. He teams up with Sam and Juan and helps them confront the dangerous creatures by using his incredible knowledge of mogwai and gremlin behavior. With his guidance, they create several strategies to fight back the creatures and make them retreat.

However, Gizmo is not spared from the fight. During the course of the battle, Gizmo is exposed to water, which poses a severe threat to him as he is a mogwai. Nonetheless, Gizmo's quick thinking and clever tactics help save the day, and the town is spared from total destruction.

The episode ends on a positive note with Gizmo safe and sound, and the town finally returning to normalcy. The seemingly lucky ticket that Sam had purchased has served its purpose, and the boys have finally learned that buying tickets is not the only way to get lucky- Fighting off dangerous creatures and saving town’s residents is another.
