If Jack Griffith's wife doesn't like the color of a neighbor's house| he'll arrange for it to be a house of a different color. If the owner of the ice cream parlordoesn't believe in selling triple banana splits for a penny| Jack will buy the establishment. And if Jack's little girl wants the pony in the circus parade| why notbuy the entire circus! This last prank sends Amberlyn Griffith back to Texarkana c. 1900| where her father is running for his third term as mayor. Jack follows|bringing the entire circus.
