Description Takes its theme from the famous Oriental legend about the inevitability of fate. The doom-dodger in this somewhat Oriental tale of French circus life is a much-besought tamer of tigers who, fearing the future, gazes into the crystal ball of the magician. In two flash-forwards, the ball reveals that on her next birthday ?whether she marries a juggler or a millionaire?she must perish in a steamship disaster. Finally, because his own future is the one thing the ball lacks the power to foretell, she marries the magician, who adores her.
