Of the thirteen minutes on stage, Roberts largely devotes the time to putting the rats through tricks. The rats perform all kinds of tricks, including rope and wire walking. The two beautiful cats do little but fill the picture; they are used in depiction of the Biblical verse about the lion and lamb. At the finish there is a "slide for life" with one of the animals clinging to a small trapeze, making for an applause ending.
If one can overcome the natural prejudice against rodents, they would realize that Roberts has a novel act. There is no end of bright looking paraphernalia in this act.
