3 Ring Circus
3 Ring Circus is a 1954 American comedy film directed by Joseph Pevney and starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The picture was shot from February 17 to March 31, 1954, and was released at Christmas by Paramount Pictures. The supporting cast includes Joanne Dru, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Wallace Ford, Sig Ruman, Nick Cravat and Elsa Lanchester.
Pete Nelson joins forces with his old buddy Jerome F. Hotchkiss and they take jobs with a circus. Jerry becomes an apprentice lion tamer, although he wishes to be a clown. Circus manager Sam Morley and Jill Brent, the owner and ringmaster, are facing financial problems, so Pete and Jerry must help wherever they are needed.
Jerry works with lion tamer Colonel Schlitz, who forces him into the lions' cage with only a whip and chair for protection. Schlitz exhorts Jerry to behave coolly and show no fear, but Jerry nervously tries to befriend the lions. Later in the day, Pete flirts with Jill and Jerry sneaks into Puffo the Wonder Clown's tent and tries some of his hats. Morley catches him in the tent and scolds him.
One night while working in a custard stand, Pete and Jerry are overwhelmed by the crowd and lose control of the machine. Morley sends Jerry to help Puffo dress for his performance, but Puffo rejects Jerry's help. Jerry's next assignment is to hand Nero, the tightrope walker, a unicycle. The audience roars with laughter at Jerry's fumbling attempts to climb a rope ladder while holding the bike. Jerry inadvertently rides the unicycle on the tightrope, and when he falls, he is a caught by a net.
Jill dislikes the egotistical, greedy trapeze performer Saadia, but Morley insists that the circus would go bankrupt without Saadia. To Jill's disgust, Pete becomes Saadia's personal assistant.
Morley convinces Jerry to become a human cannonball. Pete demonstrates his skills on the parallel bars for Saadia before they kiss. Jill interrupts to inform Saadia that, for financial reasons, there will be an extra show on Saturday. Saadia is aware that the survival of the circus depends on her, but she refuses to perform in the extra show. Pete, watching her perform to a capacity crowd, concocts an idea to save the circus.
Morley finally allows Jerry to perform in place of a sick clown. Jerry is ecstatic, but Puffo is displeased. He resents the cheap laughs that Jerry elicits from the audience and begins to bully him in the ring. The audience is upset and boos Puffo. After the show, Jerry tells Puffo that he is not angry with him.
After flirting with Jill, Pete asks her about the circus's profits and receives a slap. Soon after, Pete explains to Jill his plan to increase his profits with gambling. Jill is skeptical but allows Pete to arrange some gaming tables in the midway. On Jill's birthday, Pete and Jerry throw her a big party. An inebriated Puffo announces that he is quitting but that he will consider staying if Jerry and Pete are fired. Pete becomes angry and punches Puffo in frustration. Jill later fires Puffo and replaces him with Jerry.
