What happens
Jerry of the Circus follows Jerry and his circus friends at the winter-quarters and under-canvas life of a traveling show. Patsy tells her friends at breakfast that she has won twenty-five thousand dollars in a charity sweepstakes, and that part of the money must go toward a trip to Ireland to visit her godmother. Boris has sent her flowers, and Jason seems troubled by the attention she is paying him. Later, during the show, Jason works the panther and the animal grows unruly during a fire-jump trick, leaving Jerry worried about his safety. The story is set in a circus company after its first season opening, with Jason and Boris settling back into their acts.

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.
