Trainman and Carnie Kid are playing dice in a train car transferring Greyhound dogs to a race track and a snake to a carnival. Carnie Kid tells Trainman the reason he is in the circus is so he can hook up with new women in every town. Trainman goes into the train car with the Greyhounds to check on why they are barking and the door suddenly closes behind him. The lock breaks on the box holding the snake and it attacks the Trainman, who falls out of the train. The Trainman's dog bites Carnie Kid in the hand and then runs away. The door to the other train car opens and Carnie Kid's snake slithers up to him and bites him in the face. The train then suddenly stops. | |||
