When eccentric English teacher Andrew Larabee (Danny Kaye) needs a raise in order for his fiancée to marry him, his interest in archaeology leads him to an ancient statue's burial site. But when he finds a traveling circus directly above the statue's location, he accidentally becomes part of the act. With a newfound passion for performance and an attraction to the beautiful acrobat Selena (Pier Angeli), Andrew must decide what is truly important to him.
