Plotline

Everyone in Birdwell Island comes to the carnival, and Emily Elizabeth spots a attraction known as "Larry's Amazing Animals". They watch the show until Dorothy, a cow, loses balance, and the show is ruined. But when P.T. comes, Shackelford sees George C. Wolfsbottom's commercial. However, the dogs join the group by just leaving. The Amazing Animals then are shocked when they see the dog's tags, but Cleo makes up a lie to get into the group. They are in the next performance. Dorothy loses balance again, but Clifford saves her. The next day, Clifford tames Dorothy's fear of heights. Then Shackelford gets really jealous of Clifford, until he sees the new poster, then he forces him to get out of the group. Cleo and T-Bone catch up and show him a new move consisting of them flipping. They then venture home, until then Larry's car stops and it rolls back, so then he saves it by pushing it. They then go to Shangri-La. They go to the show and they win, but Wolfsbottom tempts him for some Tummy Yummies, Clifford is kidnapped. Larry calls Wolfsbottom, then he calls Emily, and they go on a quest to stop him. The gang gets through, but T-Bone sets off the alarm. The two then perform the move and go onto a wild goose chase, until Wolfsbottom and Madison arrive at the exit until Emily arrives. Wolfsbottom is mad, but Madison doesn't care. She wants Emily to have Clifford again, because "Clancy" (Clifford's name made by Madison) belonged to her first. They go home and Emily and Clifford run on the beach.
