What happens
Jerry and his dog Rags spend a morning at the circus winter quarters after a windstorm the night before. Jerry helps Andy brush the hippo's teeth and then meets Mr. Grayson, a lawyer, who brings news from Jerry's uncle Dan and asks Jerry to sign papers concerning a safety deposit box at a bank. Mr. Grayson is invited to lunch with the circus owner, Mr. Randall. Later Jerry calls to a clown, Johnny Bradley, whose voice seems familiar to Mr. Grayson. The episode ends with Mr. Randall warning Johnny Bradley that his son is nearby, and that Johnny must not be seen. The episode's air date is August 13, 1937.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
