After he accidentally causes the death of his partner, trapeze artist Bill Ryan leaves the circus and sinks into an alcoholic mire of self-pity.

Ignoring Kitty, the shopgirl who adores him, Bill falls for Jackie and joins her gang of thieves, but the daring stunt she has him perform may lead to disaster.
