At first he's happy to oblige, but when Eddy won't tell him how the trick works he becomes fearful and quits the act. Stuck with penguins who won't do what they're told, the magic act is in big trouble until Stripes realizes that he should trust his friends and comes to the rescue. WHEN THE STARS COME OUT It's the night of the annual Perseid meteor shower and Stripes is really looking forward to some quality star watching. He leads Marvin and Eddy on an expedition to Cranberry Hill to watch the spectacle, but they get rained out. Back at the carnival, Diamonds, Elizabeth and Edna have prepared their own planetarium show for Stripes in the big tent.
