Synopsis:
The Challengers are captured by a traveling space circus. They are forced to perform acts of daring and kept in cages. The Challs manage to escape from their cells once but there are too many guards to make it far.

During one performance, the Challs meet other performers who are likewise imprisoned. The Challs formulate a plan, and with the help of the other prisoners, the Challs stage a revolt. While the other creatures escape, the Challs lead the guards to a small asteroid. They are cornered by their captors until they realize the atmosphere of the asteroid has given them enormous strength. They round up the ringmaster and his guards and turn them over to the authorities before returning home.
