The plot gets off to a "punch " start when the trapeze artist is injured in a senantional fall and is brought the minister's house for aid. The injury necessitates her remaining here for several weeks, during which interval the ronance between the ill-assorted pair has plenty of time to ripen.
Their subsequent marriage meets with the disapproval of the church and the courageous minister soon finds himself out of a job. It is in the heroic attempt of the girl to win back her husband's prestige and happiness that the dramatic element
