Just when Pete (Pete & Fremont) the pink poodle's circus act gets axed, he and rival Rita the chimp are whisked away--to Kansas--by a tornado. The exotic animals are out of place down on the farm, so they set off to reunite with their big-top friends. Pete's bombastic narration and accompanying black-and-white cartoon drawings add pep to this zany tale.
