The Brewer Family is very wealthy, wealthy in terms of resourcefulness, cohesion, loyalty, and love -- the things that really matter. Can their circus survive another season in the heart of the Great Depression, a season when townspeople are poorer then ever and the Dust Bowl is covering some of their best towns? The Brewers and the diverse people they hire are skilled performers, and their performing elephants, horses and menagerie of exotic animals are a big draw. The Depression is at its worst, and people want escape from their dreary lives more than ever. The Brewers try to provide enough fantasy and glamor to get enough people into the bigtop and enough money so that the show can go on.
