Cuco works in his father’s (Gayo) circus that is filled with tradition and respect for the old ways that have been done forever. Cuco would like to see a change but Gayo disagrees until an enemy from the past, Martin, returns to challenge them for the “cape” that represents the leadership of the circus. What can Cuco do to save everyone and the circus?

The young parrot decides to go to Hollywood to get help from his TV hero, El Americano. Boy is he in for a surprise.
