A Story of the Circus (1912)
Kenneth, a little acrobat and trapeze performer in a circus, forms a very strong attachment for one of the performing elephants. While doing a double trapeze act with his father, the little fellow falls from the trapeze, sustaining severe injuries. He is taken to the hospital tent. The elephant, longing for the boy's company, breaks his chains, goes to the bedside of the little fellow and affectionately caresses him with his trunk. The young performer is at once aroused and there is a pronounced improvement in his condition. The faithful beast is allowed to visit the boy every day until he is well again. Kenneth Is left a cripple for life but is enabled to perform in the ring with the elephant. One day, while they are performing together, a fire breaks out in the tent, and Kenneth being unable, because of his lameness, to escape, his good friend, the elephant, rescues him and carries him to safety.
