When Hank Whirling wants to borrow $500,000 to operate his circus, the bank approves on the condition that their loan officer accompanies the circus on tour to oversee spending. The loan officer also hired a pretty female press agent over Whirling's objection. The show is plagued by disasters and everyone in the show becomes a suspect.
