At the beginning of the film, this disclaimer appears:
"The motion picture you are about to see is wholly fictional, and any resemblance to actual happenings and/or actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
The producers wish to express their gratitude to Mr Bobby Cohn, President, West Coast Shows, Inc., his associates and staff for their co-operation in the making of this film. Mr. Cohn is one of the pioneer leaders of the North American Carnival Industry who found this enterprise in the hands of montebanks and gypsies and transformed it in the realm of big business.
While most of the action of this picture takes place on a large American carnival, and the time is the present, dramatic license has been taken and certain incidents occur in the telling of the story that simply could not happen in this time and setting."
