[edit] Plot

One night, Rigatoni plots his intergalactic circus deep within the city of Aeropolis, a place that is populated with creatures that resemble Count Razoff. After the stars of the circus act, Lac-Mac, Betina and Flips perform their show, they are sent back into their cages where they are in lament and wish for a way to escape from their prison.

Meanwhile, Razorbeard, being a mere lackey to Rigatoni, has captured a new creature, which happens to be Rayman, though he is unable to get him to do tricks. Rayman is then sent to the back of the circus where is he put in the same cage as Betina. Rigatoni and Razorbeard then haul up the anchor and set off to another location.

Still without hope, Cookie suggests that Lac-Mac should try his new act, which is making shapes by bending a bar of cast iron steel. At first Rayman is not convinced, until he feels how tough the steel is, which then gives him an idea. He asks Lac Mac to pull apart the bars of his own cage, while Flips flies over to the security camera to block out their actions. Razorbeard is then sent to check on the prisoners, only to find that they have escaped, and ends up being spun around in Lac-Mac's cage. As the gang try to find an exit, Cookie withdraws an automatic bread slicer which Rayman uses to cut a large hole in the tent, which they jump out of to their freedom. This angers Rigatoni and he calls Inspector Grub to go out and find his prisoners.

Meanwhile, Rayman and the gang end up on the outskirts of Aeropolis, where they come across an engineer with an old car that he no longer wants. Rayman says that Cookie can fix it, and the engineer insists that they can have the car if Cookie can fix it, which he does. They then drive away into the city.
