Synopsis
The Great Maranelli is forced to quit the circus and, in the company of Sawdust Sam, takes to the open road. In his travels, he meets Dorothy Langdon, the daughter of the president of a power company, and goes to work for her father. The elder Langdon, engaged in opening an amusement park, is beset by troubles, all of them (unknown to him) caused by his partner, George Trent. On the park's opening night, the dynamo used to create power is wrecked by Trent, who also kidnaps Dorothy. The Great Maranelli rescues the girl and has the park's electrical circuits connected with the main city circuit. The park's opening is a success, and Maranelli becomes engaged to Dorothy.
