It is 1990 which makes almost five years since the train wreck in Paddlecab County. On Paddlecab County, the circus continues on with the showman announcing the stunts "Ladies and gentlemen! Get ready for the dangerous act!" announcement the showman "The wire above the fire!" The crowd cheers as they see stuntwoman on a unicycle near the rope where she will begin the stunt. The showman announced "The beautiful woman, Geraldine, will ride the unicycle on top of the rope and make it to the very end without falling into the fire pit! Will she make it?" the crowd in the circus cheers signalling that she will make the end of the rope. The showman faces Geraldine "Show us what you've got!" he demanded Geraldine. She starts to sweat as she is getting nervous. But she knew that she can. Geraldine launches the unicycle and starts riding it on top of the rope while the flames are deeply below her.
Behind the crowd while the humans are not looking, the little bear cub Kissyfur and his beaver friend Toot watch the performance. "Did you do any tricks like that, Kissyfur?" Toot asked. "Me? I've done a lot of tricks like that!" Kissyfur answered Toot. "Boy, I sure wish I could go in there and join the circus again." Toot then tells him. "But, Kissyfur. Don't you remember what happened the last time you were here?" Kissyfur remembered. "Oh, yeah."
As Geraldine is still riding on the ropes, she felt something wasn't right as the rope begins to snap off a little bit and she starts panting in fear. The showman notices her slowing down learning something is wrong. While they're back is turned, the rope is in fact frayed as it's trying to come apart. Finally it does come apart and rope loosens up causing Geraldine to fall down toward the pit of fire. The crowd, Kissyfur and Toot watch in horror and Toot presses his face onto him and clings on. Geraldine falls into the pit of fire and to her death. "Kissyfur!" Toot cried. "I wanna go home now!" Kissyfur agreed. "Me, too!" Kissyfur and Toot escape the circus after what they just had just witnessed.
Meanwhile a big brown bear named Gus as Kissyfur's dad starts hanging up clothes on the ropes after washing them and humming at the same time and then he hears a voice of young cub yelling. "Dad!" the voice shouted. "Dad!" it caught Gus's attention as he sees Kissyfur rushing to his dad and jumping into his arms in tears and Toot comes in jumping in Gus's arms. "Kissyfur? Toot? What's the matter?" Gus asked. "We were just at the circus and saw something terrible happen!" Kissyfur said to Gus while sobbing and in shock as well as Toot. "I thought I told you to stay away from... " Gus paused as he realizes he can't punish him right now while he's in shock. "Okay." he said as he sets the cubs on the ground. "Just tell me what happened." Kissyfur and Toot calm down as they begin to tell the story.
Moments after the accident, the paramedics haul away Geraldine's body to the ambulance truck while the showman talks to the police about the accident. "This is possibly the worst incident that's happened than the trainwreck." said the showman. Then the policeman shows the end of the rope that snapped. "Can you explain how this rope snapped off the pole?" asked the policeman. The showman notices the rope had been cut. "It's impossible." said the showman. "I haven't seen anybody climb up there." Then the policeman stated "It's most likely somebody did and then cut the rope." The showman begins to ask the policeman "You don't suppose it would be one of my people, do you?" "As far as I'm concerned," the policeman replied "it's gotta somebody who was here. This wouldn't be the first time you've lost someone in an incident like this, would it?" The showman answered "Well, I've only lost a couple of bears from a trainwreck." The police replied to the showman "But no one was killed, right?" "Right." the showman replied. "Now, when did you begin the performance before Geraldine was killed?" the policeman asked. "Just after one of my employees brought over new prize toys for the target games." the showman answered. "Okay. Well, Mr. Showman. Thank you for your time and my condolences for your loss." the policeman said kindly as we walks away.
After he talks to the policeman, Mr. Showman walks passed the target games and glances at the game and decides he could use a little entertainment to keep his mind off of the incident with Geraldine. Then his employee who works at the target game walked up to him. "You okay, Mr. Showman?" said the employee. "I'm okay, Mike, and I told you. Call me Jim." the showman said harshly. "I apologize, sir." said Mike. "Would you like to pop a few balloons for a little prize?" "I could use a little entertainment." said Jim as he's looking around at the prize toys. "What prize are you going for, Jim?" Mike asked. Jim glances at a doll with blue overalls, rainbow colored shirt, red hair and red shoes and on the overalls it says "Good Guys" on it. "Let me have that ugly one." Jim demanded. Mike sees the doll he's referring to and he starts feeling concerned. "Are you sure you want that one?" Mike asked Jim. "I am your boss. Give me the darts so I can get that ugly doll." Jim demanded. Mike starts sweating and hands Jim the darts and smiles at him.
Back at the swamp, Gus and Kissyfur sit on the couch together. Kissyfur is still in complete shock but his head is leaned on the side of his father's fur. "Now, little bear, it's nothing to worry about." Gus said to Kissyfur. "Accidents at circuses happen all the time." "But, it gave all the memories of what happened to Mom." said Kissyfur as he is still crying. "I know. I've seen incidents like that, too. I was more scared." Gus explained to Kissyfur who looks up at him. "Really?" Kissyfur asked. "Sure!" Gus answered. "Just be aware that I'll always be here for you." Kissyfur sheds tears and hugs his father. "I promise I will not let anything happen to you."
Back at the circus, Jim pops the last balloon at the balloon stand. "Bullseye!" Jim shouted. "Great job, sir!" Mike said to Jim. "Now, hand me that doll." Jim demanded. Mike starts shaking and slowly grabs the Good Guy doll. Jim notices him shaking. "What's wrong? It's just a doll." Jim asked. "Yeah. I know. I hope you know what you're doing with a doll like this." Mike replied while handing him the doll. "I know what I'm gonna do." Jim answered. "I'm gonna pretend it's the person who killed my wife and burn it to ash." Jim walks away as Mike watches him.
Jim carries the doll to his trailer and steps inside and throws the doll on couch. As he closes the door and locks it. He marches to the doll pretending that it's responsible for Geraldine's death. He grabs the doll and sets him up on the couch as he is sitting down. Then Jim prances down at him and he begins to speak to it. "I know you killed Geraldine. Confess." Jim said to the doll. Pretending there is no answer. "I said confess!" then the doll moves and said "Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna play?"
Not caring that doll's name is Chucky, Jim then replies "Sure! I'll play games with you!" he then grabs his cane and holds it as he begins to hit the doll. "Now, tell me that you did it." Jim said. "Hi. I like to be hugged." said the Chucky doll. Then Jim raises his cane to prepares to hit the doll and then he's interrupted by a knock on the door then he turns his head to the door. "What?" he asked harshly to whoever is out the door. "It's Terry, sir. You're needed at the animal section." said the person outside. "I'll be there in a minute! I'm busy!" Jim shouted. Then, he turns his head and notices that the Good Guy doll that was on the couch has disappeared. "What the..." Jim whispered. Then he looks around the trailer for it. "Where are you?" Jim said. Then he looks under the kitchen sink and sees nothing. Then he stands up and looks at the couch again and slowly walks towards it and as he reaches the couch, he slowly crouches down and then looks underneath the couch and he sees nothing under the couch. Then he stands up and turns around and starts ask himself "What did I take this morning?" He thens sits on the couch and then starts to relax and then drops the cane on the floor. Then he hears something below and looks on the floor and notices his cane is gone. As he looks up, right behind his couch, the Chucky doll quickly jumps out with a loud grunt and with Jim's cane and presses it on his neck causing him to choke. Jim was able to get up to slam Chucky to the wall to get him off of him but he couldn't get him off but knocks off the kitchen appliances including a kitchen knife and picture frames off the walls while struggling to get the doll off of him. Jim gets a tight grip of his cane and finally yanks it off of Chucky's hand and then starts coughing to catch his breath and sees the living doll. "Hiya, Jimmy!" said Chucky. Jim couldn't believe that he was seeing a living doll. And in fear, he rushes to the door to get out of the trailer. But somehow the door got stuck and he couldn't open it to get out. Chucky sees the knife on the floor and grabs it and then sees the nearest gas furnace. "Bingo!" Chucky says to himself. As Jim is still struggling to escape. Chucky opens the oven and turns on the heat on high and then marches to the gas furnace and stabs a hole in it and as the gas starts leaking on the floor quickly rushes to the smallest window to open and climbs out and drops on the ground and escapes. As Jim is still struggling to escape, he starts to yell for help. "Help!" he shouted. "Somebody help!" he shouted again. The gas gets closer to the oven enough to cause the trailer to exploded and kill Jim Showman instantly. Chucky then laughs hysterically as the explosion happens. "Ah!" Chucky sighed talking to himself. "Good to be back in business."
At the swamp, the critters heard the explosion. Kissyfur looks out the window watching the explosion. "Kissyfur!" Gus yelled. "Get away from the window!" Gus marches toward the door and says to his cub. "Stay in here while Miss Emmie and I go see what's going on." Gus commanded Kissyfur. "But Dad..." said Kissyfur. "No buts, little bear." Gus interrupted. "Stay in the house." Gus marches out the door to join the adults.
Gus walks outside and joins the pretty blue female bear named Miss Emmie Lou watching the explosion. "Any idea what's going on, Miss Emmie?" Gus asked Miss Emmie. "A trailer at the circus just exploded." Emmie answered. "Oh, my gosh!" said Gus. "That is awful!" "Hey, Gus!" shouted his warthog boss Charles "I thought you didn't like the circus?" he said in a mocking way. "Now, that's not funny Charles! You should be ashamed of yourself!"
As the adults are arguing, Chucky sneaks into the swamp while they're not looking. He climbs up Kissyfur's house and then climbs into the window and then falls on the hardwood floor catching Kissyfur's attention. "Hello?" Kissyfur called. Chucky heard that call and looked around in the room realizing he's in a kid's room. "Anybody here?" Kissyfur called again. Chucky then hides under the bed and relaxes like a normal doll. Kissyfur walks in his room and looks around and sees nothing. He scratches his head while looking around and then he glances at something under his bed. He walks to the bed looks underneath and notices the doll. He starts wandering where the doll came from and doesn't remember getting one at all. He drags the doll out from under the bed and looks at it. "Where did you come from?" Kissyfur asks even though he's unaware that the Chucky doll is alive. He then decides to just keep it just so he will feel protected and then looks out the window at the fire where the explosion took place.
