Story: Tom Little is a circus midget with giant dreams. He may be king of the midgets, but he's got grander ambitions--to become the ringmaster. Now, drawing on some dark ancient secrets, he's about to get his wish--a miniature Mickey Rooney transforming into Burt Lancaster. But in assuming another man's identity, Tom must also take on his enemies--who want to make him pay for the big man's sins.
