Dominic Fortune is living aboard his friend Sabbath’s gambling ship, Mississippi Queen which is off the coast of California in Spring 1938 when he crosses paths with Dum-Dum Dugan, owner of a three-ring circus. The mob is pressuring Dugan to sell his circus to them but he instead loses it gambling on Sabbath’s ship. The circus now belongs to Sabbath who decides to sell it.
Keene, the prospective buyer of the circus, rubs Sabbath the wrong way so she doesn’t sell to him. Keene is enraged and, with some help from one of the circus performers, he schemes to kidnap the circus mentalist. Dominic Fortune, Sabbath, and Dum-Dum Dugan team up to rescue the captured mentalist.
