Behind stage he meets the modest circus employee Lena who dreams of the glittering, picturesque art of the circus. She becomes Yermolayev's assistant.
About to leave on a long tour, Lena gets a chance to make her long-time dream come true and work with tigers. Yermolayev, in love with Lena, leaves without her. Time passes. Yermolayev has a new assistant. Lena becomes a tamer of tigers, and the night of her debut comes...
