What happens
Jerry and Spike, circus workers, load the wagons at night, and Jerry offers to ride the lead horses to the railroad run to ease the work. Buck and Gabby go along. Later, Gabby tells a story about his early days as a lion tamer's helper, and Jerry leaves the group to check on an injured man, Jason. A stranger named Boris, sitting alone at the diner counter, talks with Gabby about how circus laborers are underpaid and should demand more. The episode is part of the Jerry of the Circus series and first aired on December 2, 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.
