content
The little circus "Marinelli" is about to end. In addition to the circus area, the “milk king” Runkelmann gives a press conference to inform the public that he wants to buy the circus area in order to be able to make his large dairy even bigger. The reporter Conny Meister is among the crowd of journalists. Meanwhile, a few circus people do everything they can to save the company: the equestrian Cora, the clown Pipo and the child Silvio. Cora has taken a well paid position in a nightspot; but because she refuses to drop any more covers, she is immediately terminated.
The three of them had big problems getting food for the animals. Conny Meister comes to their aid, who not only smells a touching story, but also has an eye on Cora. When the children living nearby heard of the needs of the circus, they organize a football game where they ask for animal feed as entrance fee. Director Runkelmann sees his plans thwarted by the many voluntary helpers and wants to put an end to the hustle and bustle within 24 hours. Conny Meister asks the crowd to boycott the Ruma-Milch company and also to encourage the other children in the town to do the same. This news spread like wildfire, and soon the "r" in the second word was pasted over with a "k" on the billboards in the advertising slogan "Only pure Ruma milk".
Cora has now fallen in love with the reporter. Then one of his colleagues bursts in with the news that Conny is only interested in a good story; he doesn't care about anything else. This news deals the dancer a heavy blow. Meanwhile, Director Runkelmann is looking for a few missing milk cans. To his delight, he will soon find something in the circus. Cora then accuses herself of theft in order to cover up old clown Pipo, who she believes sold the cans and wanted to use the proceeds to procure animal feed. In reality, Charly the monkey was the culprit. In any case, Runkelmann sees himself as a winner. However, his joy does not last long; the "theft" will soon be cleared up. When Conny and Pipo organize a new demonstration under the motto “Help old animals!”, Cora reconciles with Conny. In order not to completely ruin his reputation, Runkelmann provides a piece of land for the construction of an animal asylum.

criticism
The lexicon of international films draws the following conclusion: "An unimportant-friendly story, from which one could easily have made a less stereotyped film with a more believable presentation and tighter direction."
