Synopsis
In a fling at romantic comedy following all of the serious roles she played since the departure years before of "Bewitched," Elizabeth Montgomery is a Southern spinster who, after devoting her life to the care of her recently departed father, runs away from home, joins a flea-bitten one-ring circus, and falls in love with Christopher Plummer, its owner. Boris Sagal again is her director, as he had been on several TV movies, and his wife, one-time dancer Marge Champion Sagal (of Marge and Gower Champion fame), is credited as choreographer and dialogue coach.
