Poppo of the Popcorn Theatre #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freePoppo the clown creates a new act with a trick car that falls apart during rehearsal when circus owner Mr. Spoofin arrives to preview it, with parts scattering everywhere. Poppo and his friend Carny manage to load the scattered pieces onto a bus to transport them home, but the bus driver refuses to let them board with all their equipment and junk. The children help load the materials onto the bus instead, and Poppo later performs his disappearing turkey act at a dinner party, successfully making the turkey vanish to the delight of a man and his young son Joey.
With Christmas just days away, Poppo the clown attempts to secretly shop for his pals Bumpy and Ginger at Spacey's Department Store—but the kids tag along, forcing him to come up with a distraction. When he spots a Santa at the store, Poppo's excitement leads to chaos, and his quick thinking reveals an old friend in need: Carny, a former circus elephant trainer now down on his luck. Poppo extends an unexpected invitation that turns the holiday season around for everyone.
Poppo wins big at a department store drawing and becomes the hundred-thousandth customer, scoring a mountain of prizes—but when he spots his down-on-his-luck pal Carny trying to slink away after leaving a defeatist note, Poppo sees a chance to turn both their fortunes around. What follows is a madcap evening of gift-giving, kitchen magic, and one last surprise that might just be exactly what Carny needs to believe in himself again.
