If Jack Griffiths wife doesnt like the color of a neighbors house, hell arrange for it to be a house of a different color. If the owner of the ice cream parlor doesnt believe in selling triple banana splits for a penny, Jack will buy the establishment. And if Jacks little girl wants the pony in the circus parade, why not buy the entire circus! This last prank sends Amberlyn Griffith back to Texarkana c. 1900, where her father is running for his third term as mayor. Jack follows, bringing the entire circus.
