Poppo of the Popcorn Theatre #4

Poppo, a circus clown, and his young companions are mistaken for the Hound of the Baskervilles by children who then pursue them into a haunted house during a snowstorm. After wild comedic encounters with supposed ghosts and skeletons (which turn out to be harmless), they take shelter in a house and encounter a man and woman who mistakes Poppo for a ghost. Poppo later appears at his own popcorn theatre where a waiter mistakenly serves him a reindeer, leading to a series of increasingly absurd theatrical misunderstandings that culminate in Poppo being honored as a distinguished performer and receiving a medal from the governor.
