Description
The circus has come to town and with it aerialist Polly Fisher (Marion Davies), the queen of the air. Distracted during a performance, she falls 50 feet to the ground and is rushed to the nearby house of Rev. John Hartley (Clark Gable), leader of the local parish. Enemies at first, the two soon fall in love and marry, shocking the vestry, which relieves John of his post. So when no other church will hire him and he's selling bibles door-to-door, Polly decides to sacrifice her happiness for her husband's, no matter what the cost.
