A family of trapeze artists dream of accomplishing the Quad, the most difficult quadruple somersault, for which a $250,000 prize has been offered. Their dream of making the Quad gets sidetracked when they are dropped by their manager, the youngest son gets involved with a woman twice his age, and the family patriarch gets heavily into gambling debt. Ultimately, they successfully perform the Quad, but it's in a run-down Italian circus with nobody there to record the event or even grasp the significance.
