Plot

Cyrus Miller's carnival has come to town. Its chief draw is a gorilla named Goliath. Each night, Goliath is teased by a trapeze artist named Laverne. She swings back and forth, just out of reach from the simian's upraised arms. This frustrates Goliath, but audiences are thrilled. However, Cyrus, who is in a relationship with Laverne, thinks the act is getting old. So he promotes carnival barker Joey from pitchman to performer. Joey will don a gorilla costume and become Goliath's replacement. The difference is this time Laverne will fall from the trapeze and into the arms of a disguised Joey, who will make people believe she is performing with the actual gorilla. While explaining the new routine to Joey, Laverne acts seductively towards him. The idea seems promising to everyone but Kovacs, Goliath's trainer, who is about to become unemployed.
