The story

In the 1840s, Chad Hanna, a New York country boy taking care of workhorses plying the Erie Canal in Canastota, New York, is compelled to join a smalltime travelling circus because of a black slave he's aiding in escaping. He falls in love with its star performer, beautiful bareback rider Albany Yates, but she spurns him. Chad then finds himself attracted to another runaway from his home village, country girl Caroline Tridd.
