Innocent Mary has barely arrived in the big city when she falls prey to the looming dangers of the city. First, she ends up in the home of a common thief. Then she gets a job in a circus and is caught in a dangerous game between a womanising lion-tamer and his jealous wife. Everything seems completely grim as the Devil pulls the strings and throws the world into a devastating war. But might God also get involved and punish those who ought to be punished?
