High...High...High...Above Them All! - in excitement! - in spectacle! - in fire, flesh and fury!
Mike Ribble (Burt Lancaster) was once a great trapeze artist - and the only one to have completed a triple somersault - before his accident. Tino (Tony Curtis) joins the circus, and manages to convince Mike to teach him the 'triple'. Meanwhile Lola, a tumbler, wants to get in on the act.
