==Synopsis==
The kids are going to the Pensacola Zoo for a school trip, but a group of circus performers threatened to kidnap all of the animals at the zoo for their latest performance, so will they'll be able to stop them, with the help of the butterfly fairies?
==Plot== 
The school bus arrives at the renowned Gulf Breeze Zoo in Pensacola, Florida and Ms. Derring and her class exits it. They were fascinated by the natural environment and the kids ran to see the animals.
Rose and Petunia see some giraffes and feed them, although Petunia has a hard time doing so, then Celia sees some monkeys and one of them steals her hat. Celia tries to retrieve her het, but the monkey plays with it.
Ernie finds some parrots that speak back whenever he says something, while Sam, Brad and Jessa watch some pandas eating bamboo, with Jessa commenting on their cuteness, and Mackenzie and Chip feeds some raccoons and cuddles one.
Once she got her hat back, Celia moved on to gorillas, which freaked her out, then she saw Cally and Rhonda feeding some flamingoes. Celia asks if she can feed one and the two allowed her, so she brought some.
The twins came to Timmy, who is trying to take a picture of an elephant, but it just keeps moving away. Rose thought she can help keep it still, so she picks up a peanut to lure the elephant and Timmy can finally take a proper photo as a reference for Jessa to paint a picture.
Meanwhile in the Great Troll Palace, the trolls are spying on the butterfly fairies, then King Boogieman came and notice the butterfly fairies and the plant creatures. He tells them that he and his wife can follow them on their own safari, then Queen Peregia came and agreed with him.
In Bluebell's house, the family is having dinner, with Bluebell enjoying a salad. She thought of going to a zoo with plant creatures and asks her father Laine if she can go to the zoo and he agrees with her.
The Ring-a-Ling Brothers Revue suddenly came to the Gulf Breeze Zoo. The Ring-a-Ling brothers sneak through the entrance gates, while the receptionist is asleep, look around the zoo. They beat up two police officers and security guards and began an attempt to capture all the animals. They first try to capture an elephant, but it hits them with its trunk.
The older brother, Irving, soon points out some sleeping lions and asks his younger brother, Herrick, to lure them to a huge cage. Herrick tries to wake the lions up, but a lion changes its sleeping position, startling him as he runs to his brother.
Irving asks what's happening and Herrick tells him that a lion is about to eat him, but Irving laughed about that, thinking that it was a joke, then he went to wake the lions up himself, much to Herrick's worried. Irving pulls a lion's tails and the other lions caught him red-handed.
Meanwhile in Butterfly Valley, the trolls try to find the butterfly fairies, but they notice that they are all going to the forest. King Boogieman complained to a troll guard that they all went to the wrong direction.
Moving on to the zoo, the butterfly fairies are feeding some plant creatures some fish meats. Bluebell thinks that a pink plant creature looks cute and it kisses her. Her family laughed and another plant creature kissed Spike and Aldith.
Back at the Gulf Breeze Zoo, Petunia alerts the other kids that the Ring-a-Ling brothers have captured the animals and they're carrying them to the back of the truck. Rose tries to call the police, but they've been beaten up by the Ring-a Ling brothers. She then tries to get the security guards to capture the culprits, but they also felt unconscious, since they've been beaten up too.
Now having no hope to stop the Ring-a-Ling brothers, Rose picks up her magic flower from her pocket and uses it to contact the butterfly fairies for help.
Bluebell calls the other butterfly fairies to help the humans, so they transport to the human world and ended up at the Gulf Breeze Zoo. Bluebell asks the twins what's happening at the zoo and Petunia points out the animals in a big cage.
Irving and Herrick pop out of the truck and challenge the heroes to a battle. Bluebell and Spike try to attack Irving and Herrick, but Herrick blows off the balls of light, knocking down Bluebell and Spike. Rose and Petunia had not much else to stop them, but to plead them to free the animals from the cage.
Irving and Herrick reluctantly unlock the cage and the animals jump off over them. Rose and Petunia see them and the Ring-a-Ling brothers apologize to them for capturing the animals for a performance. Petunia asks the Ring-a-Ling brothers if they can use mechanical animals instead and they agree with her.
The Ring-a-Ling brothers soon bid farewell to Ms. Derring and her class, before they head into their truck to drive back home. Petunia remarks about the Ring-a-Ling brothers and the kids, along with Ms. Derring, laugh afterwards. Ms. Derring checks on her watch and signals her class that it's time to go home and they all went back to the school bus to return to Sideview Beach.
Meanwhile somewhere far from Butterfly Valley, the trolls, including King Boogieman and Queen Peregia, are all stranded in a huge field of grass and find no one anywhere. A troll guard found a pretty flower, but it turns out to be a baby plant creature, which bites her nose. Another troll guard brought his own homemade map and shows the other trolls, including the monarchs, how to get their way back to the Troll Kingdom as the episode ends.
==Trivia==
*The official synopsis for this episode refers to the Gulf Breeze Zoo as the "Pensacola Zoo."
*Kevin Madison had jokingly claimed that he wrote the this episode to teach PETA, an infamous animal rights organization, a lesson on proper animal care.
*This is the first episode to premiere in the new millennium (2000), but like the other six episodes premiering in early 2000, it was produced in late-1999.
*The Ring-a-Ling Brothers is a parody of Ringling Brothers, a real-life group of circus performers who are also notorious for using live animals in their performances.
*In this episode, Rose does not use her magic flower to enter the Butterfly Kingdom, nor returning to the human world, but instead to call the butterfly fairies for help.
**This means this marks the first time Rose and Petunia remain in the human world throughout the story.
**This is also the third episode where Rose and Petunia do not enter the Butterfly Kingdom, after "It's a Snap" and "The Flower Invasion."
