Synopsis:
Olaf arranges to meet a courier at the circus. Before the war, Olaf performed in the circus, so he is reunited with many old friends. When the Nazis show up demanding a performance, Olaf disguises himself as a clown to hide his identity. When the Nazis discover the courier during the performance, Olaf protects him. The rest of the circus performers pitch in and help to apprehend the Nazi soldiers before they can retaliate.
