Chapter 05, “Jokers Wild”

After being tossed from Jimmy’s Hi-Wire, Rex runs into his old pal and partner in mayhem, Bingo.  Still in need of an alibi for his whereabouts, Rex decides to follow Bingo and hoist a few at the clown bar in town, the Banana Peel.  There he meets a menacing figure from his past, who insists that Rex owes him money.  This confrontation is all it takes to spark the clowns into a fight, a glorious, cackling, prop-strewn catastrophe that as usual destroys the interior of the bar.
