Story
Rainy's wandering circus, which is famous for performing in rain and heat, is going through hard times. Mary Rainey, who inherited him after the death of his father, can not provide a stable income. The artists have not seen a salary for several months and are starting to think about leaving. Mary can fully rely only on Smiley - a clever manager who knows how to “speak his teeth” to creditors and get out of the most difficult situations. Arriving in a new city and spreading loud advertising, the circus begins to prepare for a performance that should solve financial problems. However, two employees begin to play their game, hoping to first go bankrupt and then get the company into their property ...
