Story Summary
In a foreign state where the circus has been banned, Benno, the Great Birdman, still trains young trapeze artists in a clandestine big top. But his greatest admirer, his son, seems more suited to being a clown. When Benno is taken in a government raid, Peppito, the last true clown, offers to train young Jonno as a warrior clown with the promise that he will have the power to topple the government that took his father.
