Plot
Trapeze artists Bob McAvoy and Charlie Jerome have a successful act and both fall for Kay Rogers, who also wants to become a circus performer. Kay secretly marries Charlie, who is also involved with Carlotta, the lion tamer. After a fight between the men, Charlie is injured and believes Bob caused the fall. Charlie plots revenge by pretending to manage a new act featuring Bob and Kay, but secretly sabotages the rig. When Bob performs without a net, he is about to fall into a den of lions. Kay tries to save him, and Charlie’s conscience gets the better of him; he rescues Bob but dies in the fall.
