Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mary Gillespie is restoring the Col. Gillespie Circus to its former splendor after her father's death. With the help of her publicist boyfriend Jim, the sell-out crowds are returning to the big top. Egotistical equestrian star Senor Martinet, however, holds $60,000 of notes signed by the Colonel and due in 24 hours. When a mysterious shadowy figure is seen on the circus lot, and Martinet is murdered in the center ring during his performance, there are suspects aplenty, including Vindecco, Martinet's badly abused hunchback assistant. When Vindecco is murdered after confiding clues to Mary, Jim turns her over to the local sheriff, and continues the investigation to unmask the shaodw on his own.

What's the matter, we had a wreck? Jim Quinn: Where's Carlos? Dutch Schultz: Carlos? Isn't he in his berth? Jim Quinn: No. Have you seen him within the last hour? Dutch Schultz: I've been dreaming since midnight and I didn't see nobody but Mae West! Kid Crow: Well, what more would you want? See more » |
