Driven by poverty, the young Gelsomina is sold by her destitute mother to the travelling performer Zampanò. Zampanò is brutal and cold, and she thinks of running away several times but never succeeds. At one performance she meets a circus performer nicknamed "the Fool", who teaches her to play an instrument, and she grows attached to him. When Zampanò reappears, her hopes and brief happiness are shattered. The Fool's words leave her even more confused: he hints that Zampanò may in fact love her...
