Storyline

Struggling young doctor in a rural community, Dr. Lawrence Tibbits, cures Norma, a circus elephant, when she is injured in a fire. The circus moves on, but Norma, who has become quite attached to the young doctor, keeps coming back, trampling everything in her way. Minette Bunker, the girl Tibbits loves, is kidnapped by one of her frustrated suitors, and Tibbits goes to the rescue, aided by Norma and 2,000 Boy Scouts. Norma later returns to the circus, and Minette prepares herself for the joys and sorrows of being a country doctor's wife.
