Sypnosis

Plastic surgeon Dr. Rossiter is wanted by the police because he gives a new face to criminals on the loose. After he operates on Vanet, a circus owner’s daughter, he has the idea of partnering with her father under the assumed name Schüler. When the circus owner is attacked by his dancing bear, Rossiter doesn’t move and lets him die. Then he takes the reins of the circus and hires former criminals to make a « temple of beauty » out of it.
