The story of the remarkable P.T. Barnum whose remedy to American plainness was a "prodigious swarm of divas, minstrels, circuses, museums of curiosities, beauty pageants, sideshows, fat-baby and poultry contests-whatever it took to entertain his fell citizens while making him one of the country's first millionaires."
