Plot

A man tries to draw customers to the circus and points out some amazing acts and sights to see. A man offers balloons for children and realizes he is very high in the air before an off-screen voice introduces some acts, such as a glutton who can eat even the hardest and sharpest of items. He takes a bow, revealing his very flabby body shape. Next is Hot-Foot Hogan, a man who can walk on hot coals in just his bare feet. He demonstrates, yelling in pain until he sits back down again. Next is a special attraction, the sensational Captain Clamour, a human cannonball who flies very far into the distance and circles the Earth before landing, wearing the location stickers of places he has been.
