In a small town in the Canadian Rockies, six circus elephants stampede and escape into the wilderness. It's 1926 with the country embroiled in a momentous election campaign. So much for historical facts. Frank Burton has been telling wildly entertaining versions of these events for seventy-eight years. Now his grandson has to unravel the yarns.
