A whimsical silent-era comedy about reinvention and finding joy in humble circumstances after catastrophic loss, built on circus spectacle and physical comedy.
The story follows the son of a millionaire from the 1920s to the 1960s. After losing his fortune in the stock-exchange crash, he teams up with an equestrienne and becomes a circus clown.
