Plot
Storyline
After a trapeze performer is injured during an accident, she is moved to a minister's house where they both fall in love.
On the day that she arrives in town, Polly is already arguing with Rev. John over her posters. Then, during her trapeze act, a heckler causes her to fall and she is taken to Rev. John's home. The doctor decides against moving her, so she spends the next two months recuperating at his house and they gradually fall for each other. When they marry, they find that nobody will accept her as suitable to be a minister's wife. John also finds that no congregation will hire him and not even his uncle, the bishop, will help.
