The usher caught him and threw him out. Further attempts fail. The usher says that Woody Woodpecker should earn his entry by washing elephants, but the woodpecker only connects the elephant to a hydrant with his trunk .
In the course of a chase, Woody Woodpecker arrives at the circus tent, where he disrupts the current performance on the trapeze, among other things.
