Belle Peppers in White Album Christmas

The Belle Peppers are life size wind-up dolls acquired by William Batty to help with tasks in the Wanderlust Circus production entitled White Album Christmas. During the production Bruno Knickerbocker is entrusted to watch over the Belle Peppers. Bruno then uses them to entrap William Batty, get dressed up in a Ring Master outfit, and take over the Wanderlust Circus. Bruno fails in his attempt, but manages to put all the blame on the Belle Peppers and remains William Batty’s good trusted friend. (more…)
