== Plot ==
The episode opens with a view of the sky. The camera pans down to show Kedamono riding around the circus on the roof of Paola, the elephant car. Popee walks by and sees Kedamono doing a handstand, and then envisions himself standing on top of Paola.
As Paola goes around the circus, Popee stands in front of her, only to get run over, and Paola stops. Kedamono looks over at Popee, who gets up and starts stomping towards them. He tries to climb on Paola's roof, but she grabs him with her trunk and throws him. He squirms angrily while Kedamono watches, and then walks back to make a second attempt, only to be thrown again, this time against a wall. Popee looks at Paola and Kedamono angrily from on his hands and knees. He's bleeding from his nose and forehead.
The scene cuts to Popee pushing a cart of apples, and he stops in front of Paola. He offers her one, only for her to smack it away. Kedamono runs towards the apple and happily eats it. Popee gets angry but offers Paola another apple. This time she takes it, which pleases Popee, until she gives it to Kedamono, who eats it, and Popee gets angry. Paola and Kedamono start sharing apples while Popee laughs maniacally.
In the next scene, Popee is holding an apple and a syringe filled with a poisonous liquid and laughing. Kedamono and Paola continue enjoying apples together but turn towards Popee, sitting behind the apple cart. Kedamono approaches Popee who is about to inject the apple, and pats him on the back, causing Popee to throw the syringe in the air, and it lands in his knee. Popee puts his hands around his throat and rolls around as a horrified Kedamono watches. Popee reaches out for Kedamono before collapsing, dead, and Kedamono approaches the body of his friend, which glows, and a ghostly Popee appears and floats towards Kedamono and Paola, who run away scared.
Ghost Popee corners them, so Kedamono grabs a vacuum and uses it on Popee, sucking him up, and also getting a fly. The fly escapes the vacuum, now having Popee's head, and flies on top of Paola's head. Fly Popee starts dancing, imagining the same scene he imagined before. Kedamono and Paola stare at Popee's body while Fly Popee flies around Paola's head, before she uses a fly swatter on him. Kedamono mourns Popee, and the episode ends.
==Trivia==
