Bartok is a pretty, young, high-dive artist married to Wicki. She begins an affair with brutish barker Jurgens, who soon murders Wicki and steals Bartok's savings. She leaves him for photographer Freytag but goes back for more abuse. Finally, while Jurgens is trying to strangle Bartok,
not-too-bright strongman Berber crushes him to death and Bartok returns to Freytag. Two versions were made and Berber appears in both. The stars of the English language version, CARNIVAL STORY, Anne Baxter and Steve Cochran, can be seen as extras here. This is slightly better than CARNIVAL STORY,
though not much. (In German; English subtitles.)
