Storyline
After his parents' death, Jacob Jankoski is left penniless and homeless. Events lead him to joining the circus as their vet, working under their unstable boss August whose violent tendencies give everyone reason to be cautious around him, including his beautiful and quiet wife Marlena, whom August is very possessive of and who Jacob finds himself soon falling in love with.

Trivia
In a deleted scene of Vanity Fair, Reese Witherspoon plays Robert Pattinson's mother. In Water for Elephants, they play lovers. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: It is incorrectly regraded as a goof when August says Jacob is an Ivy League grad. Although the Ivy League wasn't officially established until 1954, the terminology has been in common use with sports writers for those select schools since the 1930's. See more »Crazy Credits
In 'The producers wish to thank' section of the credits, the Circus World Museum is listed as being in Barbaroo, WI. The actual town is Baraboo, WI. See more »Connections
