[4] Neumann simultaneously directed a German language version Circus of Love with Bernhard Wicki, Eva Bartok, and Curd Jürgens.

Grayson's Amerikanische Wunderschau ("American Show Of Wonders"), a traveling carnival, comes to Munich with acts that include high-dive artist Frank Collini (Lyle Bettger) and silent strongman Groppo (Ady Berber).

A local girl named Willi (Anne Baxter) picks the pocket of Joe (Steve Cochran), who works for the carny, and he ends up offering her a job.

Then Collini asks if she would like to become a part of his act, which involves diving into a flaming tank of water from a great height.

The King Brothers later sued RKO for mismanaging the distribution and sale of the film, claiming $20,000 in damages.
