Summary:

An elderly Chinese man routs evil in a Western frontier town by setting up his circus for the townspeople. The various performers affect each of the circus' visitors in a different way, and in the end the unscrupulous citizen who dominates the town repents.

The mysterious traveling circus of Dr. Lao has come to the dusty Arizona town of Abalone. Everyone turns out for the magical event. None of them realize the circus they're attending is in their own minds. The greed, vanity and pettiness of Abalone's citizenry gets an unexpected makeover, thanks to the life altering showmanship of the venerable (7,322 years young in October!) Chinese impresario Lao.
