And last, the female owner of the apartment is heard and seen on the phone, speaking, with strange calm, about the dead man in her apartment whom she has never seen before.

En grå morgen ankommer en cirkuskaravane til en lille by i Skåne, hvor cirkusdirektøren Alberts familie bor. Albert har ikke set sin familie i tre år og har i mellemtiden fået sig en elskerinde – den unge og yppige Anne. Da Albert tager kontakt til sin kone, bliver Anne jaloux og lader sig forføre af Frans i bytte for en halskæde, han påstår er værdifuld. Anne finder dog ud af, at halskæden er uden værdi, og på samme tid afviser Alberts kone ham. Albert og Anne hænger på det nødlidende cirkus og hinanden. Samme aften er der cirkusforestilling. Frans vil være til stede, selvtilfreds og hånlig, bjørnen skaber sig, klovnen er sur og bitter, og selvmord forekommer som en udvej.
