Just before her death a few years later, she leaves her little girl Sally (Carol Dempster) in the care of her friend McGargle (W. C. Fields), a good-natured crook, juggler and fakir.
McGargle, realizing his responsibility to the child, gets a job with a carnival company playing at Great Meadows, where the Fosters live.
Peyton (Alfred Lunt), the son of Judge Foster's friend, falls in love with Sally.
