Synopsis:
Deadman tries to discover who was responsible for his death. He remembers the Eagle, a rival acrobat with a grudge against him. Before Boston Brand was killed the Eagle was briefly hired by the circus. During a rehearsal, the Eagle attempted to drop Boston from the trapeze. Boston survived and humiliated the Eagle. Now, Deadman suspects that the Eagle may have hired a killer for revenge.
Deadman returns to the circus where he discovers that Lorna has once again hired the Eagle. He is not happy when his rival also tries to get Lorna to marry him. Deadman then enters Tiny's body and starts a fight with the Eagle, hoping to learn if the acrobat was his killer.
