Legendary crime novelist Mickey Spillane stars as himself, as does former police officer Jack Stang, who served as the real-life inspiration for Spillane's iconic detective character Mike Hammer. The crime-fighting duo are called in to investigate acts of sabotage at a travelling circus run by real-life animal trainer Clyde Beatty (who also stars as himself), while actors Sean McClory, Marian Carr, and John Bromfield round out the star-studded cast as the carny's suspicious denizens.
