Synopsis
After her father's death, a girl who is left with a circus where she performs chores such as manicuring an elephant's nails, is named Jinx by Bull Hogarth, the owner, who blames her for the circus' hard luck. When the star attraction, Rory Bory Alice, upset that she has not been paid for weeks, leaves, Jinx attempts Alice's serpentine dance to impress two prospective buyers. When she gets entangled in gauze, however, Hogarth's anger causes Jazbo, the wild man, who is actually Slicker Evans, and in love with Jinx, to break out and disrupt the crowd. Jinx escapes to a farm house where Aunt Tina Carbery raises seven orphans. Jinx helps out and entertains them with her own back yard circus until Hogarth drunkenly demands that she tell him where Alice went. Although Aunt Tina suspects for a while that Jinx is trying to seduce her sweetheart Sheriff Jepson, at the end, the sheriff marries Tina, and Slicker, who saves Jinx from Hogarth's beating, is accepted by her.
