Ali wants nothing more than to impress his teacher Mr. O'Reilly with the most amazing project on Rome. Who would want a boring written report when a real live battle with trained gladiators was an option? Bear tries to warn him, but when it comes to Ali's imagination, there is little anyone can say to change his mind. Let's just hope Cheeto the "ferocious" cat makes it out in one piece!
