Opening scene: several airships are flying around.  Carmera pans down to reveal a circus tent.
ACE (off-screen): Hey!  Some of these alien circus animals are sure weird-looking!
[Camera switches to an inside shot.  Ace and Kimberly are walking past two rows of cages.]
ACE: Locked up safe.  Look at -this- guy! *gestures toward a cage*
[The creature inside the cage looks like some sort of alien lion with black horns.]
KIMBERLY: Phew!  It's ferocious-looking!
[The lion-like beast roars and paws the bars.]
ACE: Not too close, Kim! Watch out! *wraps his arms protectively around Kim*
[The lion-like beast sticks it's head between the bars...and chrips three times.]
ACE: "Tweet"?  
KIMBERLY (sarcastically): My hero.  *pushes away from Ace*  
KIMBERLY: Well, thanks for the rescue. *walks out fo the shot*
[Ace shrugs and follows Kim off-screen.]

[Scene shift: another part of the circus.  Space Marshal Vaughn (SMV) is standing in a guarded doorway; he seems to be waiting for somebody.]
SMV: Ah, Supreme Leader Dracor!  Prime Minister Zorm!  Welcome to Earth's Cosmic Circus. *shakes hands*
[The pair of ambassadors turn to each other and converse in an (incomprehensible) alien language.
SMV: Oh, don't you worry about your safety.  *chuckles* Come meet Space Ace and Officer Kimberly.  They're on full-time circus patrol.

[Scene shift: Ace and Kim are still checking the cages.]
ACE: Now here's a -cute- little fella, Kim. *grabs the bars as he looks closer at a three-eyed, koala-like creature*
KIMBERLY: Oh, how sweet!
[The koala-like critter roars, revealing a mouth full of rather large, pointy teeth.  Ace jumps back...and accidentally opens the cage.  The critter hops away.]
KIMBERLY: Space Ace, you let him loose!
SMV (off-screen): That's not all that's loose around here, Space Ace.
[The critter hops past Vaughn and the pair of ambassadors.]
SMV: You're supposed to keep tight security!  Now snap to it. Catch that animal.
ACE: *salutes* Yes, Sir!
[Ace dashes after the critter.]
SMV (to Kim): As soon as the ringmaster arrives, start the show.
KIMBERLY: *salutes* Yes, Sir!

[Scene change: a (gaudy) spacecraft arrives close to Earth.  Three of Borf's Buzzers are chasing it.]
[Camera switches to a shot of Borf (who is presumably aboard one of the Buzzers).]
BORF: I always wanted to join the circus, especially one headed for Earth.  *presses a button*
[The spacecraft is caught in a beam.]
[Some time later...]
[The ringmaster and a pair of clowns are tied up.  Borf grabs the ringmaster's hat off it's head.]
BORF: -I'll- be running this circus.  
[Borf is now dressed like a ringmaster.]
BORF: After we snatch Marshal Vaughn and these cosmic leaders from their circus seats, I will be able to take over their planets one by one.  Including Earth.
[Two Patrol Pups and La Grin are made up to look like clowns.]
{Those are the ugliest clowns I've ever seen o.O;}

[Scene change: back at the circus.  Ace is still looking for the escaped critter.]
ACE: Here, little guy!  Come to Space Ace!
KIMBERLY: I don't know if I -wanna- find that ferocious little animal.
[The critter roars and jumps out of a box.  Ace ducks.  The critter lands on a jet-powered ball.  (Yes, "jet-powered"; that's not a typo.)]
ACE: Hey!  *jumps onto another ball and persues the critter*
ACE: Get back here before I...
[Ace transforms into his younger self.]
DEXTER: ...fall on my face.
[Dexter takes out part of a tent pole as he sails through the air.  Camera switches to the ringmaster's dressing room.]
DEXTER (off-screen); Kimmie!  
[Dexter blasts through the dressing room door and then crashes off-screen.]
BORF (Aside): Dexter.  I'll take care of him.
DEXTER: Hey, ringmaster!  
DEXTER (whispering): Your mustache is on crooked.
[Borf turns, fixes the mustache, then turns back around.]
DEXTER: Hey, can I be your assistant?  I can make faces.  Look!  *makes wierd faces*
KIMBERLY (off-screen): Dexter, quit clowning around!
KIMBERLY: Oh, the ringmaster.
KIMBERLY (to the "ringmaster"): Come on.  Time to start the circus. *leads him out of the shot*
DEXTER: Hey, make I could juggle, or do a wild animal act.  
KIMBERLY: Dexter, you already have a wild animal act to do.  Catch that little creature!
[They step out of the dressing room.  Dexter follows, then stops.]
DEXTER: Aha!  There you are!
[Camera switches to a shot of the critter, which is near the top of one of the titghtrope poles.  Dexter uses a ladder to reach the critter.]
DEXTER: Here, little creature...come on.
[Dexter tries to grab it, but the critter evades.  Dexter lands on the tightrope and breaks it.  He screams as he falls. Luckily, he manages to grab onto the free end of the rope and swings...through one of the tent's awnings.]
BORF (as the ringmaster): Ladies and gentlemen!  Welcome to...
DEXTER (swinging through on the rope): Eeeyiee!
BORF (as the ringmaster): ...the Cosmic Circus!
KIMBERLY: Oh, no!  It's Dexter!  *grabs a portable trampoline*
BORF (aside, via communicator): Now is the perfect time, space pups.  Snatch Prime Minister Zorm.
[The pups juggle while approaching the short alien's box.  They grab (and bag) Zorm as the Prime Minister tries to say something.  Nobody seems to notice the abduction.]
DEXTER: Kimmie!
[The critter walks all over Dexter; when it reaches his chest, it cuts loose with a loud roar.]
DEXTER: Yow!
[They both fall off the trapeeze.]
KIMBERLY: Don't panic, Dexter!  I'm right below you! *runs around with the trampoline*
[Dexter screams as he falls. Just after he lands in the trampoline, Dexter transforms.  Ace shoots up into the air, with the critter on his shoulder.  The crowd "ooh"s and "aaah"s, as they are convinced this is part of the opening act. Ace sommersaults, then lands in Vaughn's box.]
ACE: I caught him, just as you ordered, Sir!
[The critter jumps out of the box.]
ACE: Hey!  
SMV: Nevermind!  Prime Minister Zorm just disappeared!  Find him!
ACE: I'll jump right to it, Sir.  *releases Vaughn and jumps out of the box*

[Scene change: Borf is standing in front of a cage, still dressed as the ringmaster.]
BORF (via communicator): La Grin!  It's your turn to strike.  Make Marshal Vaughn disappear.
[La Grin flies to Vaughn's box and waves his hands.  A cloud of smoke appears around Vaughn.  This does -not- go unnoticed.  When the cloud disapates, the box seat is empty.]
KIMBERLY: Look!  Now Marshal Vaughn has disappeared! 
ACE: We better check this out...fast!  
[Ace grabs the nearby cycle (for the highwire act) and takes off across the highwire on it with Kim.  Ace transforms and his driving becomes a lot less steady.]
KIMBERLY: Dexter!  Whoa-oa!
DEXTER: Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa!
[END OF ACT 1]

[BEGIN ACT 2]
[Dexter and Kim are speeding across the highwire on the cycle.]
DEXTER & KIMBERLY: Whoa!
[The cycle careens off the wire and lands in the huge net below, tearing up said net and creating a big hole in the ground.  The crowd applauds.  Moments later, Kim sticks her hand up (out of the hole) and points.]
KIMBERLY: You go -that- way.  We've got to find Marshal Vaughn.
[They jump out of the hole and leave in opposite directions.]

[Scene change: La Grin and the pups lead Vaughn (tied-up) toward a cage.]
SMV: I'll have you thrown in jail for this!
[The pups toss a clown outfit over the Space Marshal.]
LA GRIN: Silence!  *slaps a clown mouth & nose onto Vaughn's face*
[The pups toss Vaughn into the cage.]
LA GRIN: Nobody will suspect you clowns are the top leaders of the galaxies.
[Dexter walks by as La Grin and the pups leave the area.  He notices the "clowns" in the cage and stops.]
DEXTER: Hey, have you clowns seen this stuffy-looking old guy around?  
LA GRIN (aside to the pups): Dexter.  I'll take care of -him-.
[La Grin slaps a clown mask over Dexter's head.]
DEXTER: Hey! 
[Dexter groans as La Grin tosses him into a cage and shuts the door.  Dexter lands on the back of something pink and very large (alien elephant??).  The creature growls and raises its head.]
DEXTER: It's ali-i-ive!
[The "pink elephant" uses both of its trunks to grab Dexter.]
DEXTER: Hey!  Cut it out!  Kimmie!!
[The "pink elephant" hurls Dexter at the bars.  As he hits the bars, Dexter transforms.]
ACE: No more time to play!  Got to get back to work!
[Ace slingshots out of the cage and lands next to Kim.  He is still wearing the clown mask.  Kimberly turns around and sees him.]
KIMBERLY: Stop clowning!  *removes the mask* Space Marshal Vaughn might be in serious trouble!

[Scene change: in the circus' general audience blechers.  Ace and Kim are at the top of the stairs.
KIMBERLY: Uh, oh, Space Ace...look!
[We see La Grin and the pups (still dressed as clowns) grabbing (and bagging) Dracor.]
ACE: Wow!  It's Dracor!  Those clowns got him and probably have the others too!  Let's go!
BORF (aside): Space Ace!  Officer Kimberly!  I'll stop -them-!  
BORF: *blows a whistle* Acrobats!  Do your big finish over -there-! *points*
[The 4 acrobats move; Borf dashes away in the opposite direction.]
BORF: Now for the getaway...  *hops into a small hovercar*
BORF: ...with all three leaders as my prisoners.
[Borf blasts off in the car.]
ACE: Obstacles ahead.  Jump!
[Ace and Kim use a springboard to fly through the air.  Two of the acrobats tumble around beneath them.  Ace grabs a trapeeze.  Kim grabs onto Ace.]
ACE: Look out, Kim!  There's more coming!
[The other two acrobats tumble through the air like a pair of cannonballs; they grab onto Ace, knocking off everybody.]
KIMBERLY: Space Ace!  I'm falling!
ACE: So am I!
[The first pair of acrobats are riding on Borf's car; they break the fall of the other 2 acrobats.  Ace and Kim land on Borf's shoulders.]
ACE: Hold on!
ACE (to the "ringmaster): Thanks for the lift.  Keep going.  Straight.
BORF: *grumbles*
KIMBERLY: Look out!
[The car is heading straight for the four-armed strongman; it zooms between the giant's legs.  He plucks Ace and Kim off the car.]
STRONGMAN: I'll teach -you- to ruin my act.  Have a nice flight!  *tosses them*
[Ace and Kim tear holes through the top of the tent on their way out.]

[Scene shift: The real ringmaster and a clown are tossed out of the circus' spaceship as it blasts away.  Ace and Kim make another hole in the ground as the land nearby.]
RINGMASTER: It's Borf and his thugs, pretending to be us!
ACE: Borf was the ringmaster?
KIMBERLY: Borf's got Marshal Vaughn and the alien leaders!
{I think she just unlocked the "Mistress of the Obvious" achievement there ^.^}
ACE: Come on, Kim.  There's no time to lose!
[They leap out of the hole and leave.  The koala-like critter then leaps out of the same hole(!) and dashes away in the opposite direction.]

[Scene change: the circus spaceship is flying through space.  The Star Pac is in hot pursuit.]
KIMBERLY: Circus train dead ahead, Space Ace!
ACE: Sneak in on it, Kim.
[The Star Pac reaches the rear of the "train".]
KIMBERLY: I'll lock the Pac's tractor beam on it.  
[Ace exits the Star Pac and lands on top of on of the "cars" in the "train".]
{I still say it's a spaceship that -looks- like a train, so that's why I'm using quotes -.-}
ACE: Looks like ol' Borf is up to fun and games again.
BORF: So, Space Ace!  You -dare- interfere? 
[Borf grabs a gun and points it at Ace.  When he pulls the trigger, flowers poof out from the barrel.]
ACE: *draws his blaster* Ah, flowers.  You shouldn't have Borfy-boy.
[Borf tosses the flower gun down in disgust, then pulls a (glowing) whip out from behind his back.]
BORF: Seems like your rescue plans...*cracks the whip*
[Ace's blaster is knocked out of his hand.]
BORF: ...have fizzled.
[Ace leaps back and grabs some items that look like a fire extinguishers.]
ACE: Fizzled is the right word.
[Ace squirts Borf in the face, knocking the big alien backwards.  Borf yells as he staggers into the next "car".]
BORF: One more prisoner for me.
ACE: -No- more prisoners for you, Borf.  See ya around.
[Ace presses a button, which disconnects the car from the rest of the "train".]
BORF: Come back here!  I took those prisoners; they're -mine-!
ACE: Back to Earth, Kim.  Full speed.
[Kim connects the Star Pac to the rest of the "train" and tows it away.

[Scene change: back on Earth, at the circus.]
SMV (off-screen): Good job, Space Ace: Officer Kimberly.  Right men?
[The two aliens babbles something incomprehensible.]
ACE: Thank you, Sir.  All in a day's work.
[The koala-like critter sneaks under Vaughn's clown costume, then crawls up it, tickling the Space Marshal.  Vaughn laughs insanely.]
KIMBERLY: You don't suppose he's got space fever?
[The critter tears through the costume and is sent flying.  Ace catches it.]
ACE: Gotcha!  
ACE: Good catch, Marshal Vaughn!
[Everybody else laughs.  The critter roars.]
[Fade to black]
