Mike is the sheltered son of an oldworld trapeze family traveling the US with the Prince Royal Circus. Roustabout Jerry is a rootless orphan, one of the faceless behindthescenes crew who put up and break down tents and attractions as the show moves from town to town. One is a star, the other has nothing but a motorcycle and his dreams of becoming a stunt rides: their romance breaks all the rules of circus society. Can they stay the course and prove that love conquers all?
