Timofey, a child from an orphanage, Seva, a womanizer, and Valik, a softy who can't take a step without his mother, are sent to the circus for correctional work. The trio of troublemakers will be supervised by the circus director, the caretaker, a former sailor, a macho trainer, an illusionist, and other circus performers. The guys will have to find an escaped elephant, become the target of a knife thrower and a magician's victim, fly under the dome, escape from an angry tiger and a bear, and engage in other crazy activities.
