    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      One of Micky Dolenz's competitors for his role in "Circus Boy" was singer-songwriter Paul Williams. Ten years later, Williams competed with Dolenz again, for a role in The Monkees (1965). Williams didn't resent Dolenz for beating him out twice, and the Monkees later recorded one of his songs, "Someday Man".
    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, the three main cast members are introduced only by their character names (Big Tim Champion, Joey the Clown and Corky) instead of the actors' names.
