When his parents are killed, leaving him with no money, Jacob Jankowski joins the circus and uses his expertise to work with the animals. On arrival at the circus Jacob encounters many colorful characters including Kinko a dwarf clown; Uncle Al the power hungry and creepy circus boss, and August the head animal trainer who is both charming and brutal. And then there is Marlena, the beautiful star of the circus, who Jacob falls madly in love with. But Marlena is already married to the vicious and cruel August.
