Off You Go!
From tragedy in the ring rises a daughter determined to reclaim her family’s circus legacy.
Hoping to restore his family name to the ranks of the great circus dynasties, Karl Urmann works with his children to develop a horse act. Having previously been injured in a trapeze accident that claimed his brother's life, Karl is trampled to death by a horse; with his dying breath, he begs his daughter Claudia to leave the circus and go live with her Aunt Paula. There, she works as a maid and secretary while continuing her training. After a few years, she is ready to stage her own act. She hopes to reunite with her brother, Freddy, who is currently in the US performing alongside the treacherous Matsu. With Patsy’s help, Matsu tries to persuade Freddy to sign a contract, but the young man returns to his sister instead. [Filming was halted in 1946 after DEFA management identified significant technical flaws. The footage is considered destroyed.]
