    Where to Watch

In this strange drama, a clown secretly aspires to becoming a great prizefighter. Someone spots him in a fight and hires him to play a pugilist in a movie. Unfortunately, he engages in real fisticuffs on the set and gets fired. This leads him to his big break in the ring.

A clown (Bruce Seton) dreams of leaving the circus and becoming a great prizefighter but is sidetracked from this ambition when he is spotted in a fight and offered the role of a boxer in a film. After an imbroglio on the set, he gets fired as an actor but is given his big chance as a pugilist, and so it goes en route to a poor B-film ending.
