Plot

Franklin and his friends take the stage to delight and entertain everyone at Radio City Music Hall. They all work together to make a special surprise for the audience using items from "The Franklin Bag". But before they are able to share it, a new visitor, Mr. Dawes, Jr., sneaks away with the bag! Throughout the show, the kids are trying to catch Mr. Dawes, Jr. The chase takes everyone to "Franklin's Imagination Circus" with fun-loving clowns and some dancing bears. After the circus ends, the chase continues. Mr. Dawes, Jr. later confesses that he took the bag in order to make friends. Franklin and the gang forgive him for his misdeeds and remind him that he just needs to ask to be friends. Franklin then unveils the surprise to the audience: a glittered stuffed heart. He asks everyone to use their imaginations to make the heart bigger.
