First rate summer entertainment -- a picaresque adventure story of a radio writer who comes to France to put a stop to his wife's divorcing him, only to go into hiding on arrival in Cherbouge, for the killing of a policeman. Joined in hiding by a hard drinking juggler and his niece, the three wander about the country in a travelling cirque. Central Europe -- an amusing background -- adventures with thugs, landlords, humor, pathos, adventure, romance, in skilful blend.
