The Big Show, the only feature-length motion picture produced by the Miller Brothers, is a behind-the-scenes melodrama set within their show. John Lowell, as Bill, a war veteran who has been defrauded by his brother rescues Ruth, the elephant girl (Evangeline Russell) and joins the company. Secretly engaged to Bill's "bad brother" Norman--allegedly an oil millionaire--Ruth rebuffs her rescuer's affection. Her elephant knows a villain when he smells one and eventually gives Norman his just deserts.
