Plot
Crippled trapeze aerialist and former star Mike Ribble (Burt Lancaster) sees great promise in young, brash Tino Orsini (Tony Curtis). A trapeze is a short horizontal bar hung by two cords from a support to form a Trapezoid. The only man to complete the dangerous triple somersault, Ribble thinks his protege is capable, under his rigorous training, of matching his feat. However, Orsini is distracted by the third member of their circus act, the manipulative Lola (Gina Lollobrigida). Tensions rise as a love triangle forms. A love triangle is a romantic relationship involving three people
