Early talkie that features Adoree struggling to run an honest carnival despite the fact that crooks have infiltrated her operation and are fleecing the general public as fast as they can sell tickets to the freak show. The ring leader of the con men is Kohler, and he even commits murder
on the midway. Basically a criticism against carnivals, THE SPIELER does have some interesting moments illustrating the various crooked techniques employed by the hucksters to swindle the customers.
