Jimmy Durante, Doris Day and Martha Raye star in this big-screen portrayal of Rogers and Hart's Broadway musical about an all-out effort to save a struggling circus--Billy Rose's Jumbo. Pop Wonder's (Durante) gambling debts have put his circus in danger of default--an event completely unforeseen by Lulu (Martha Raye) the fortuneteller--and the circus has to sell its beloved elephant, Jumbo.
