Death-defying feats under the big top and soul-searching melodrama in the rectory, with Davies as a trapeze artist who takes a bad fall and ends up recuperating under the watchful care of the Reverend Clark Gable. This is believable to about the extent that Gable's believable as a man of the cloth, but there's no denying the ease with which he commands the screen. The supposedly scandalous outfits Davies performs in don't look all that shocking now.
