Plot

Trapeze artists Bob McAvoy and Charles Jerome have a successful act. Both develop a romantic interest in Kay Rogers, who also wants to become a circus performer.

Bob is furious when Charlie and Kay are secretly married, knowing that Charlie is also carrying on with Carlotta, the lion tamer. After a fight between the men, Charlie is injured in a fall and believes Bob dropped him on purpose.

Plotting his revenge, Charlie pretends to become manager of a new act featuring Bob with Kay, but behind the scenes sabotages the rig. Working without a net, Bob is about to fall into a den of lions, but when Kay tries to save him, Charlie's conscience gets the better of him. He rescues Bob, but plummets to his own demise.
