This short film of the Bertram Mills Circus mainly features backstage footage, showing animals being fed and trained, including elephants, a chewing cheetah, horses and chimps, one of which simulates combing its hair while looking in a mirror. There are also scenes of horses training in the ring. The Bertram Mills Circus performed each Christmas at Olympia and wintered at Ascot.
