Biopic of Louis Cyr, strongest man in the world at the end of the 19th Century.

An affable drifter on the lam for a murder he didn't commit hides out in a circus.

Far above the ground in a circus tent, a young trapeze artist prepares himself for his first dearth-defying leap. He thinks back to his mother, who took her life eight years ago, due to him.

This Pete Smith Specialty showcases the Cristiani Family, a circus act. They mount and dismount moving horses and perform acrobatic feats while riding them.

Short film of 300 individually painted images.

Camera iris opens to six ponies with decorated harnesses and plumed halters, standing in the center of a stage with a painted backdrop of mountains. Cuts to two ponies on a seesaw, with a moustached man in a white uniform with dark piping and a white cap holding their leads. A second trainer in a dark suit can also be seen occasionally with the ponies. Individual ponies perform a variety of tricks, including rolling a slatted barrel across the stage with front legs and then with a nose, knocking over the barrel, "limping" across the stage with one front leg held off the ground, and pushing the trainer over with a nose-butt.
