The Maids of Paradise

Under the French circus tent, the Maids of Paradise dive like mermaids into water below. The acrobatics hint at the drama awaiting American investigator Mr. Scarlett, and his love, the Countess de Vassart. While a real war rages on outside, battles of love and strength are fought in the circus ring.
