Comment/Synopsis

A young orphan is sent to live with her aunt who runs a circus whose fortunes are revived when the child burns down the circus and they collect the insurance money. She grows up to be a trapeze artist but trouble comes when she falls in love with one of the men in her act. The plot is not great nor are the trapeze scenes, and none of the characters are particularly engaging.
