The episode begins with Fred and Barney going to see a traveling circus show. They are both amazed by the performances, and Fred begins to wonder if he could also perform as a strongman. Barney, on the other hand, is inspired by the trapeze artists and decides that he wants to learn how to perform on the flying trapeze.
Later, Fred and Barney are hanging out with their wives, Wilma and Betty, when Fred suggests that they should run away and join the circus.
