Cage Boy

The Clyde Beatty Show! The world's greatest wild animal trainer Clyde Beatty with an exciting adventure from his brilliant career. The circus means thrills, excitement, snarling jungle beasts. The circus means fun for young folks and old, but under the big top you see only a part of the story.

The real drama comes behind the scenes where 500 people live as one family, where Clyde Beatty constantly risks death in the most dangerous act on earth. This master of the big cats has journey to Africa and India, hunting down his beast in their native jungle.

All of this is part of the Clyde Beatty story. It is entitled, Cage Boy. It is night. The Clyde Beatty trained wild animal circus has just begun a week's engagement in Cleveland, where the first evening's performance completed less than an hour ago.

And now in the cat barn where the lions and tigers are caged. Hey, hold up there kid. What are you doing in here? I'm looking for Mr. Beatty, come out outside. Hey, here. I don't know if he will be a knight.

What do you want with him? I wanted to see him about a job. I thought he might have one. You? You wanted to see him about a job, a punk like you? What could you do around the circus?

I could be a cage boy, couldn't I? You couldn't even feed peanuts to the elephants. I'm a cage boy. When Mr. Beatty hires anybody, he wants some drive behind the ears, now run along. I'm gonna wait and ask him for myself.

You're giving me an argument? No, but I'm going to get moving on. Hey, you like going me? You know. Hello, Mr. Beatty. Hey, this snowsy lot, lads, head the nerve to bust in here and ask for a job.
