Mr. Cannelloni's Circus
Mr. Cannelloni’s circus has been operating for generations—ever since his great-grandfather started it one hundred years ago. But with ticket sales dropping and the circus equipment falling into disrepair, the future of Cannelloni’s Circus looks bleak, especially when a strict special inspector arrives to look things over. Luckily Mr. Cannelloni’s wife, Rosita—once a daring tightrope walker—has some new bold stunts in mind. With the help of a snake woman, a strongman, daredevil horsemen, and other circus performers, Rosita launches “Operation Hannibal.” Will her risky rescue plan be enough to save Mr. Cannelloni’s Circus?

The Arrival of Maximillian Knapp<br />
Maximillian Knapp waited for the dust cloud to settle<br />
before he took off his helmet and straightened his<br />
glasses. It was dead silent as he removed the clothespins<br />
from the legs of his trousers and put them in his jacket<br />
pocket. One of the Pommer Boys started to chuckle—until<br />
<strong>Mr</strong>. Knapp spun around angrily.<br />
Madame Rosita approached the visitor with a friendly smile.<br />
He had first looked like an older official in his dusty suit,<br />
but now Rosita saw that the man was quite young and thin.<br />
He must be rather new to his position, she thought. With<br />
her head charmingly tilted, Rosita offered her hand for a<br />
greeting. Knapp took her hand and introduced himself.<br />
“Special inspector Maximillian Knapp, from the National<br />
Work Safety and Environment Administration Office,” he<br />
said curtly. “Good afternoon. As you were previously notified,<br />
I have come to conduct an inspection of safety and<br />
environmental matters in your circus.”<br />
