Embittered performers who have not been paid for some time blame this situation on rock'n'roll discotheques--an enmity personified when Victor, the circus' ace knife-thrower, attacks Davy with perfectly-aimed throws within inches of his face and threatens to call the police. Another performer, Susan, befriends The Monkees but is distraught when Victor delivers a written ultimatum to Pop, the circus' ringmaster.
