Central to the carnival are Molly, a beautiful performer who can electrify herself, and the Geek, a deranged individual who eats live chickens. Stan's attraction to their acts marks the beginning of his complicated relationship with ambition and moral ambiguity, as he accepts a job that puts him at the heart of the carnivals’ strange operations.
