Returning to his farm disheartened, a tall red clown's hat beneath his arm and its owner's circus train speeding away behind him, the farmer initially fails to perceive the circus monkey apparently left behind. Trailing him in a yellow collar and red cap, the monkey bows to the farmer at the door, then launches into a whirl of activity (even crumpling the clown's crisp chapeau) that gets it sent promptly outdoors. But a fall of overnight snow awakens the farmer's sympathies and care--at least until the monkey has rested enough to cause further chaos. In her signature art style, Frazee slyly turns the previous narrative of loss into one of antic comedy just right for anyone who has wrangled a toddler: this time, when the circus train returns, the farmer looks downright relieved to embrace the solo life.
