When the brooch surfaces in the hands of a mysterious quick-change artist, Donald takes a job as a clown to track it down—leading to a series of slapstick misadventures under the big top. Written and illustrated by Carl Barks, with coloring by the Western Publishing Production Shop and lettering by Barks himself, this 1977 classic features a cover by Carl Buettner that captures the zany spectacle of the story.
When Donald Duck accidentally loses Daisy’s heirloom brooch on the way to selling it for circus tickets, he’s stunned to see it reappear in the act of a mysterious quick-change artist at the big top. To reclaim it, Donald takes a job as a clown, diving into the chaotic world of circus life with Huey, Dewey, and Louie in tow—only to find that getting the brooch back might be even trickier than he thought.
In "Snake Take," Uncle Scrooge finds himself outmaneuvered by a street artist’s cobra, which hypnotizes him after he refuses to pay a hefty reward for the performance—leaving the billionaire in a sticky situation he didn’t see coming.
