Description:
Fields portrays Larsen E. Whipsnade, the proprietor of a disreputable traveling carnival perpetually evading legal authorities. Whipsnade is desperately trying to avoid foreclosure, and is demonstrably failing to compensate his staff, including Bergen and McCarthy, who attempt to solicit payment from him – or, in McCarthy’s case, pilfer funds directly.
