A Brief Synopsis: On the run from the law, Alonzo hides in the circus as The Armless Wonder — a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Alonzo actually has the use of his arms but keeps them concealed so that his true identity remains under wraps. Meanwhile, Alonzo falls in love with another performer, Nanon, who has a phobia against being touched by a man. But when the circus owner discovers Alonzo’s true identity, the performer makes a tragic decision.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

• What is the oldest circus?
  
• Where is the “circus capital of the world”?
  
• How long does it take to recover from the amputation of a limb?
  
• The KISS reunion album “Psycho Circus”.
