The film is considered lost, but the book is right here, ready to read! Classified as a "classic Danish short novella," the story was novelized by Guy Fowler. Two young brothers are orphaned, taken in by their grandmother, who promptly sells them to a circus. Ill treated, the brothers decide to form an acrobatic act with two sisters they meet in the circus. Nowadays, they would launch a virtual internet act, but back then it had to be the real thing. When the circus fires them, they form a new death-defying trapeze act, which becomes immensely popular in Europe. Then romance muddies the waters. What happens next . . . ?
