Synopsis for The Barker: "Another Story"
A pair of unscrupulous gamesters at the circus are themselves taken for a ride by an unassuming old man, who easily gets the better of one when he comes to reclaim their money with a gun. Soon the old man's swiping from the take at the legit circus, and leading the Barker on his friends on a merry chase all over the grounds. Eventually he's caught and unmasked as Biff Capers, a blacklisted stuntman who figured to make up for some financial shortfalls and spite a circus at the same time by robbing from them.
