Synopsis
Helen Herbert, a dancer in a carnival sideshow, wearying of her drab life, leaves the show and falls in love with young Bobby Spencer, who insists on helping her. She hesitates to marry him, however, because of her past, but he insists. Realizing that their marriage would alienate Bobby's family and jeopardize his future, Helen returns to the carnival, and though Bobby follows, Helen's companions keep her concealed from him. After a talk with his father, Helen resolves the dilemma by volunteering for a balloon ascension and leaps to her death.
