A prenuptial agreement is drawn up for Georgia to give the marriage a six month try out. It was a fun ride while it lasted, but Georgia realizes that the circus is her life. Charles Bundy has become so attached to her though, he wants to run away with her. Can Babe tolerate the attachment of having Charles follow her around, doting on her? The only way to end it is for… you know… she has to kill him.
Life in the carnival turns out to be thrilling for Charles, making him feel like a boy again. A dare makes for a peculiar accident just at a dangerous point on a roller coaster.
