Not by a long shot.



(KNOCK - KNOCK)

Ahhh....

Ah.. Ah..

Ahh...

Hey!

Ugh!

Ah.. Well Dr BadVibes

It's a walking success big boss.
No safe is safe from my circus wagon.

Ah..
Splendid.

Alright,
let's plan a BIG heist.

The face!

Iiii it was horrible.

It's alright now,
cops are here.

Whatever knocked on that
vault's door wasn't very polite LongArm.



You don't need to be polite
when you got the strength of a battleship.

Whatever it was, we have to
find it before its strikes again.

Let's hope the watchman
can provide us with a clue.

How is the watchman,
Mainframe?

He's delirious, sir.
He just keep talking about a horrible face.

Ahhhh...

Ohh ohh.. ah...

- What happened?
- The face! Iiiit's....

There!

Oh!

Look it's a poster of the circus.

Mainframe, you go to the
hospital with the Watchman.

He may prove to be more
rational than he seems.

Right, sir.

You think the circus has
something to do with this Bulletproof?

Let's investigate.
It's the only lead we've got.

Com'on Hardtop.
let's see where the clowns are hiding.

Yeah,
right.

(ELEPHANT TRUMPET)

(ELEPHANT TRUMPET)

- Ha ha ha ha.
- Hehe haha.

- Is everything in the circus mechanical?
- Everything.

Clowns, Elephants, Acrobats.
The kids love it.

Hey mister, Could you spare a
dollar? I am trying to get into the circus.

Ah, geez.
I will never be able to buy a ticket.

Hey lady.

Hm, shall I keep it?

Ah, I probably shouldn't.
Just enough to get into the circus.

You owe yourself a favor, Sam...
Take it.

I've got you now,
you little thief!

Help!
I've been robbed.

Police. Help.
Officers!

- This little boy stole my wallet.
- That's not true.

And I am not a boy.
I'm a girl.

Oh? And what might
your name be, young lady?

Sam.

I mean, Samantha.
But you can call me, Sam.

- Well, tell us your story, Sam.
- I didn't steal her wallet.

She dropped it.
I just picked it up, and...

- And?
- And...

Hey look... I just wanna see
the circus like everyone else.

- Is that a crime or something?
- Of course not, Sam.

But stealing is.

Just give the lady back the money.

Relax...
I never said I was keeping it.

Oh no...
Look out!

What?!

I don't believe it,
she's ditching us.

Hey!

Let the girl go for now.

But she's a crook!

She's a child,
who took a wrong turn.

Forget the time to
help her out there.

We've got an investigation on our hands.

You're right.

Lets see if we can
find our vault's snatcher.

(ROAR)

Looks like the ring-master might
be the head hunch around here.

Could be... Ask him a few
questions while I'll have a look around.

Ah?!

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

By all the way, fella.

- I'm investigating a bank robbery.
- I'm a ring master, not Jessy James.

You've come to the wrong place,
officer.

I'm not so sure about that.

That Elephant of yours looks like it might
be strong enough to tear open a bank vault.

Nonsense, my machine were created
for wholesome family entertainment.

Ah, but if it would make you happy officer,
feel free to have a look around.

- I will.
- Oh, good.

Then you can start...
In the basement!

Hi hi ha ha ha.

Ahhh....

Ugh!

Oh.. ugh..

I'll have room service
send down some aspirin.

Hi hi ha ha ha.

Slow down, Sam.

I just want to have
a word with you.

You expect me to believe that?

Ah!

(PANTING)

Whoaaaaa....

SAM!
You alright?

Ahhhh....

Wow...

Keep an eye,
Buzzbomb.

You know how the big boss likes
an honest counter stolen money.

Ah.. If this keeps up Buzzbomb,
I will buy you a new set of wheels.

Buzzbomb?

Wow!

I could sure use some of that.

Wait...
That feeling, feeling insane.

Jippers!

- STOP.
- Let go of me.

Aww.
Let me go! Let me go!

What do you know.
A little boy.

I am not a boy.
Let me go!

Shut him up!

Let me, Go....

Stop it.

(KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK)

I know you're in there.

I won't hurt you.

Another cop?

You'd think they're
be out catching crooks.

Roberto.

Alright then.
I'm coming in!

he he he, sorry. I was looking
for a little girl, about this tall.

Ugh...

Sleeping gas.

Sweet dreams,
Mr policeman.

Now I'll have some fun and games in store
for you and your friend, when you wake.

Hi hi hi.

Meh... I don't care if you
captured two cops, BadVibes.

Major circus cover is blown.

Wrap this taper up in one big heist.
NOW!

- In broad day light?
- Meh...

What could be more
innocent than a circus wagon.

No, I don't suspect a thing.

- Oh, very well.
- Hmm, BadVibes...

I'm sure this heist is bank sale.

I want, 20 Million, and raise.

Hm! The least he could have done
was say, please.

You've got us,
BadVibes.

- You don't need the girl.
- Yeah!

This girl, is a boy!
Anybody can see THAT.

Let her go, BadVibes.

Look, I've got a bank vault to smash.

So all three of you
have to stay caged.

Do you like it?
I bought it at a circus close yard sale.

So you did smash over the bank vault.

Oh, why yes. And this heist
is going to be even smashier.

I still haven't decided WHAT to smash.

Wait! An idea is forming!
I'm having a.. Brainstorm!

Yes.. Yes...
I can see it, yes!

The gold depository.
How do I ever think these things up?

You wish you hadn't
thought about that, BadVibes.

Tsk...

In case you think you can escape.
I'm leaving Roberto here to entertain you.

Roberto?!

Roberto doesn't clown around.

Clown.
Hi hi ha ha ha ha.

Sorry guys.

I guess I got us
into this mess, ah?

It's not your fault,
Sam.

As a matter of fact, Hardtop and I
were on a very important investigation,

And you may be able to help us.

- Me? Really?
- Yes.

Can you tell me what you
saw in Dr BadVibes hideout?

Well...

There were lots of those clowns,
in this big room.

Falling money out
of a big circus wagon.

Look like you found our vault smasher.
Then we just got to find a way out.

It's gonna be tough
without our weapons.

Those mechanical clowns must
be programmed to collect money.

Let's see if we
can buy a way out.

HEY!
Roberto.

Come on over and say hi to a...
President Washington.

Come and get it,
Roberto.

Ogh..

I've got him,
LongArm.

That's it,
Roberto.

Now!

Ugh...

Reinforced steel.

How are we going to get out?

Remember Samantha,
we're counting on you.

When you'll get to our squad car,

Ugh!

- Ogh...
- Agh...

Egh... Ogh...

I radio the police station.

And tell Bulletproof that Dr BadVibes
is on his way the gold depository.

- I got it.
- And don't forget this.

Thanks.
Cya later.

Ah?

Let me down!

Whoo whoo whoaaa..
Ugh!

Welcome to my circus wagon little boy.

Let me out of here you,
you weirdo.

Buzzbomb!

Now tell me,
How did you get out?

Ah... I... Slipped through the
bars when the clown wasn't looking.

And what about the cops?

- They are still down there.
- You wouldn't tell a lie would you?

No, sir.

That's better. If you continue to
be good, I will give you a gold bar.

Gosh...
A whole gold bar?!

I always tell the truth.
Ask Buzzbomb.

Quite little bird brains.
Who asked you!

Now...
Do we have a deal?

Yeah. I'll be good. Just
promise you won't hurt the cops.

I won't.
Cross my heart.

Sammy, Bigez, funny-face.
Dispose of those cops, once and for all.

Look out belowwww.

Ah?!

That looks like the way out.

Com'on, Com'on!

That's it.

Whooow...

LongArm!

- It's Sam's hat.
- And BadVibes' tracks, I bet.

Sam must be in danger.

That's right Bulletproof. BadVibes crime
machine is heading for the gold depository.

Hold you fire,
We think he may have a hostage on board.

10-4 Sergeant.

- Let's go.
- It's crime fighting time!

The circus was fun, but this
will be a blast. Ha ha ha ha.

Ahh...

Step inside and have some
gold young Dr BadVibes.

Why thank you Dr BadVibes,
Don't mind if I do.

- Here's the circus wagon.
- Let's reign on its parade.

We you know you got the girl,
BadVibes.

Let her go.

You're beginning to get on my bad side.

Time to make some cop-sui.
Hi hi ha ha ha.

LongArm...
You said you wouldn’t hurt them!

Shut up and have a seat,
little boy.

I'm not a boy.
I'm a girl!

Hm, Don't do that!
You promised to be good.

You want your gold bar,
don’t' you?

OK.. OK...
I'll make it two gold bars.

No way buster.
The gold doesn't belong to you anyway.

Yiiahh...

Yiiahh...
Ahh....

Hi guys.
I guess we took care of Dr BadVibes.

- A little girl...
- Finally! Somebody noticed.

- You both OK?
- I think so.

BadVibes!

You haven't stopped me...
The sky's the limit for Dr BadVibes, Ha ha.

Wow...
Do you think he'll come back LongArm?

I'm sure of it, Sam.
But we'll be waiting for him.

I'll be waiting too. I gave it to
him once, and I give it to him again.

- She might make a good cop someday.
- Yeah...

I have a feeling she'd turn out OK.

Dr BadVibes' circus wagon was taken to the
pre-sync junkyard where it was dismantled.

The stolen loot we
found inside the wagon

was returned to Empire
city savings and loan.
