3 Ring Circus is a 1954 American comedy film directed by Joseph Pevney and starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Circus manager Sam Morley and Jill Brent, the owner and ringmaster are facing financial problems, so Pete and Jerry must help wherever they are needed.

Later in the day, Pete flirts with Jill and Jerry sneaks into Puffo the Wonder Clown's tent and tries some of his hats.

One night while working in a custard stand, Pete and Jerry are overwhelmed by the crowd and lose control of the machine.

The audience roars with laughter at Jerry's fumbling attempts to climb a rope ladder while holding the bike.

Jill interrupts to inform Saadia that, for financial reasons, there will be an extra show on Saturday.

Saadia is aware that the survival of the circus depends on her, but she refuses to perform in the extra show.

He resents the cheap laughs that Jerry elicits from the audience and begins to bully him in the ring.

He is an instant hit with the audience, even bigger than Saadia, who is jealous and threatens to quit unless the circus fires Jerry.

In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson wrote: 'Three Ring Circus,' the latest Paramount comedy vehicle for Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, is significant, if not exactly distinguished, for one reason.
