Overview

Super Dave gets an audience volunteer to demonstrate a new television camera, which turns out to be a camera that's worn on the volunteer's butt. Pandemonium ensues when Super uses the camera to field questions from the audience. Liberty Silver sings "I Do Love You". At the Super Dave Animal Training Centre, Super shows off his favourite elephant Simba and several trick performing dogs, including Scepter the attack dog. Comedian Morty Pillman does standup comedy, but when he is about to rip off Gallagher and do food smashing, Super steps in and stops him. The Super One gets hurt: He gets fiercely attacked by Scepter, but miraculously manages to come back to the studio to close the show.
