In this episode of Ludwig Bemelmans’ series, Madeline’s naughty neighbor Pepito, the son of the Spanish Ambassador, proves a bad influence when he convinces Madeline to run away with the gypsy circus. The two are adopted by the mysterious Gypsy Mama and they experience “life on the road,” complete with sleeping in late, no rules or schedules to follow and lots of exciting adventures!
