One night, [[Rigatoni]] brings his flying circus deep within the city of [[Aeropolis]], a place that is populated with creatures that resemble [[Razoff|Count Razoff]]. After the stars of the circus act, [[Lac-Mac]], [[Betina]] and [[Flips]] perform their show, they are sent back into their [[cage]]s where they lament and wish for a way to escape from their prison.

Meanwhile, [[Razorbeard]], being a mere lackey to [[Rigatoni]], has captured a new creature, which happens to be [[Rayman]], though he is unable to get him to do any tricks. [[Rayman]] is then sent backstage of the circus where is he put in the same cage as [[Betina]]. [[Rigatoni]] and [[Razorbeard]] then haul up the anchor and set off to another location.

Still without hope, [[Cookie]] suggests that [[Lac-Mac]] should try his new act in an attempt to cheer everyone up. The act is bending a bar of cast iron steel to making shapes. At first [[Rayman]] is not convinced by the act, until he feels how tough the steel really is, which then gives him an idea. He asks Lac-Mac to pull apart the bars of his own cage, while [[Flips]] flies over to the security camera to block out their actions, being that she is small enough the fit through the bars herself. [[Razorbeard]] is then sent to check on the prisoners, only to find that they have escaped, and ends up being captured by them and spun around in [[Lac-Mac]]'s cage. As the gang try to find an exit, [[Cookie]] withdraws an automatic bread slicer which Rayman uses to cut a large hole in the tent, which they jump out of to their freedom. This angers [[Rigatoni]] and he calls an [[Inspector Grub]] to go out and find his escaped prisoners.

Meanwhile, [[Rayman]] and the gang end up on the outskirts of a city called [[Aeropolis]], where they come across an engineer with an old car that he cannot fix, and no longer seems to want. [[Rayman]] says that [[Cookie]] can fix it, and the engineer says that they can have the car if Cookie can fix it, as he has been trying for a long time. [[Cookie]] fixes the car, and the gang then drive away into [[Aeropolis|the city]].

==Trivia==
* Rigatoni calls Grub "Detective" in this episode, although all official sources call him "Inspector".
* Rigatoni wants Rayman to do tricks with his "Detachable hands". Interestingly, Rayman's hands would not actually be shown to detach from his body in official continuity until [[Rayman 3]], which was not released at this point. Of course, it had long been speculated that Rayman could detach his body parts due to his lack of limbs.
