Plot
Jack Griffith, known as "Papa" to all, is a family man in a Texas town, but an irresponsibly eccentric one especially when he has had one too many drinks. To impress his six-year-old daughter, Corinne, he spends the family's savings to buy his own circus, simply so the little girl can have her own pony.
