Victor Mature stars as Hank Whirling, the owner of a circus on the verge of ruin, who battles not only a loan officer (Red Buttons) and a press agent (Rhonda Fleming) trying to run the show, but a saboteur who causes train wrecks, escaped animals and fires to force him to close.

Vincent Price plays the ringmaster who is just too nice to be the villain. What a red herring!
