Like a gaggle of young kids playing in their grandparents’ room, six artists jump
on two 600-pound beds that move on rotating platforms. In a playful atmosphere, they
perform acrobatic feats, each more daring than the last.
The next scene is a flashback to the Clown's childhood; two large beds
are wheeled out and a group of performers dressed as children begin
bouncing up and down and playfully throwing pillows at each other.
The beds are actually trampolines and the performers spring up,
perform flips, balance on the bed frames and eventually bound from one
bed to the other all to the sounds of an upbeat swing song.
At the end of the scene angels appear overhead to escort the dead
clown toward heaven, his bed rises and he is fitted with a pair of
angel wings. The audience laughs at his awkward first attempts to
fly.
