During the rest of the picture, Wfllie and Joe rack up enough mileage in that chariot to make Carnival Story a sort of Indianapolis classic of its kind. At first, Willie gets a job in the cook tent, but then the high-diver (Lyle Bettger) gives her a spot in his act. One day he asks her to marry him. Joe does not mind: all he wants is his free ticket on the merry-go-round. Disgusted, Willie weds the high-diver, but Joe soon has her right back where he wants her. Before it all ends, Willie is left...

...Glacier Park but in "the seething city of Macao" on China's southeast coast; and instead of Technicolor it provides a scarlet situation.

A jealous Prussian elephant trainer (Lyle Bettger), foiled by Heston when trying to plant an elephant's foot on Gloria's pretty face, joins a plot to halt the circus train and rob the cashier's car. He causes a gargantuan train wreck-for which De Mille demolished full-sized trains (TIME, May 7). The wreck not only awakens Betty's love for Heston and her organizing genius in effecting the circus's comeback...
...described as a turkey croquette. Like its predecessor, Dear Brat celebrates the adolescent excesses of Mona Freeman, playing a feminine Henry Aldrich. This time she cues Edward Arnold's slow burns and Billy De Wolfe's prissy swivets by trying to rehabilitate a hardened criminal (Lyle Bettger), who bears a special grudge against Judge Arnold. The result is the kind of movie that helps sell television sets...
