Romantic tragedy of female trapeze artists in the circus. A dying woman tells her doctor her tale of love, jealousy, rivalry and murder. She and her companion trapezist both fell in love with the circus ringmaster - who favoured the dying woman's rival. One night at a special performance without a net she let her rival slip and she was killed. Three days of agony followed and she returned to the ring only to discover herself loathed by the ringmaster. She joined a travelling circus, became ill and returned to die near her old circus. Slight. (PB)
