content

Circus director Bruno Roncalli ( Günther Maria Halmer ) is facing financial ruin. His debts of a quarter of a million marks threaten to cancel the planned tour when the loan officer Kosinski ( Günter Lamprecht ) demands the return of the sum. However, Roncalli can negotiate a final deadline and uses this to start the planned tour early. The "Circus Roncalli" hastily leaves its winter quarters in Cologne and sets off for Osnabrück . Kosinski, however, does not let himself get rid of and follows the circus to Hamburg in order to collect the payments due. When Roncalli already thinks he is at the end, the disagreeable loan officer becomes a savior in an emergency. Kosinski sacrifices his own home loan and savings contract to ensure the circus business continues to exist. And the "Circus Roncalli" is actually looking up again.
