A fluttering yellow butterfly captures the attention of a circus clown, and he follows it into the circus tent where he finds a beautiful ballerina dancing. The clown attempts to learn some of her dance steps. Not surprisingly, especially with his giant shoes, he is anything but graceful and eventually falls down in a heap. The ballerina helps him up and they resume their dance, this time much more successfully. Of course it couldn't last this way, and a bunch of situational comedy follows in which the clown becomes and aerialist and causes quite a scene before he crashes to the ground. The story ends well for the clown and ballerina, as they sit together at a table cleaning off his shoes, with the butterfly hovering above them.
