Ho escapes .. arrest by his ini/hariie Chaplin genuity and obtains work as handy man in a circus, where ho falls in love with the owner’s daughter. A new performer in the person ot' a handsome young man joins the company. The girl falls in love with him, not knowing of Charlie’s deep affection for her.
