No Laughing Matter

Honk honk! Someone committed the crime of trying to arrest a clown... what a clown!

No Laughing Matter is a hide-and-seek action blast from the past! Help chase down the clown, or try to make a break from the FBI... upon closer inspection however, one might find they're the ones clowning around!
