Chaney and friend, circus performers, adopt a baby girl left at their camp. She grows up to be the beautiful Loretta Young, in one of her earliest roles. Chaney realizes that he is in love with her, despite their large age difference and his fatherly role. Meanwhile, Loretta is considering the romantic advances of a young, wealthy man. Chaney is a natural as the clown who makes people laugh on the outside while his heart breaks on the inside.
