The tramp probeert te ontkomen aan de politie die hem onterecht verdenkt van zakkenrollen. In zijn poging dit te doen, rent hij een grote circustent in. De circusdirecteur vindt zijn ontsnappingspogingen zo grappig dat hij hem meteen aanneemt als clown.
Nee, helaas is The Circus nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
