He enjoys initial success in thwarting a band of robbers and thus becomes enough of a celebrity to get a job with a travelling circus. Things quickly go downhill and he leaves the circus in ruins and loses his barrow. The barrow indirectly falls into the hands of the vengeful robbers who use it in the commission of a crime. Monty finds himself implicated, on trial for his life and desperately hoping that his long-absent Guardian Angel will turn up and save him.
