A circus trapeze performer and strong man conspire to separate a midget from his fiance and try to kill him.
This was actually interesting. The plot eventually held my attention enough to watch it a second time in order to understand what was going on. The characters were actual freaks: amputees, midgets and mutants. The video was typical of the 1930s, but more raw and graphic than was popular in that time. I think that the most visceral scene was all of the freaks advancing on the strong man in the rain. The audio was horrible. I could barely understand what people were saying because it was so bad. Overall, a strange, old film for folks who dig weird shit. I rate this good. It's a keeper!
