The Barker Synopsis

Leo Fielding, a professor of languages, reluctantly goes with his younger brother Henri to an anarchists' meeting. In black robes and masks, members draw ballots to choose someone to assassinate the prince. When the police raid, Leo says that he induced Henri to attend. Banished, Leo goes to America, sadly leaving his baby Floria with Henri. Five years later, Henri's wife Dulcine, wanting Floria's inheritance, urges Henri to send their niece to Leo with Count DeGrasse, the anarchist leader, whom she has secretly paid to kill the girl en route. After learning of Floria's supposed drowning, Leo loses interest in life. Years later he becomes a circus barker and makes friends with the aerialist, in reality his daughter Floria, whom DeGrasse, the ringmaster, has forced to support him. After Floria refuses to marry manager Lemuel Salter, owner Wilfred Wells, masquerading as a stenographer to investigate graft, falls in love with her and thrashes Salter. In revenge, Salter pours acid on the safety net, but DeGrasse performs before Floria and is killed. Before dying, DeGrasse reveals Floria's identity. Now reconciled with Leo, Floria marries Wilfred.
