It was said to be: "Pathetic tale of the ring and the elopement of the clown's wife with a rascally ring master [Jackson Crane]. Sparrow is comforted by his friend Pantaloon and shows no sign of his secret grief. His brave patience and the love of his child bring about a touching reunion." Its release was for six months.
