In a delapidated circus in the middle of a large city, the “Strongest Man in the World” can no longer lift his elephant. Every artist does his best, but the once successful circus has lost its public. The trapeze girl decides to risk her own life, in a desperate attempt to help the man she loves find his lost self-confidence.

In un circo decadente situato al centro di una grossa città, l'«Uomo più forte del mondo» non riesce più a sollevare il suo elefante. Ogni artista cerca di fare del proprio meglio ma il circo ha perso lo splendore e il pubblico di un tempo. La trapezista mette a rischio la propria vita, in un ultimo disperato tentativo di aiutare l’uomo che ama a ritrovare la fiducia in se stesso.
