The freaks are taking a break from the circus under the care of Madame Tetrallini, who speaks up for them when the owner of the land tries to shoo them away.
2. Hans, the Dwarf, is smitten with Cleopatra. What's her role in the circus?

Answer: Trapeze artist

Screen siren Olga Baclanova plays "Cleopatra, Queen of the Air."
3. How does Hans' fiancee, Frieda, respond when Cleopatra encourages Hans' romantic advances?

Answer: She confronts Cleopatra.

Frieda was played by Daisy Earles, sister of actor Harry Earles who played Hans. She was a bareback rider in the film. Hans was the ringmaster.
4. What was unusual about Phroso's friend Johnny?

Answer: He had no body from the waist down.

Johnny was Johnny Eck, "The Half Boy." Johnny's real name was John Eckhart, Jr., and he had a normal twin brother.
5. Phroso and his friends were excited because somebody just had a baby. Who?

Answer: The Bearded Lady

The father, The Skeleton Dude, passed out cigars while his wife showed off their new daughter.
6. How does Cleopatra find out that Hans is rich?

Answer: Frieda lets it slip when she pleads with Cleopatra to stay away from Hans.

Cleopatra was just toying with Hans for entertainment until Frieda accused her of just wanting Hans' money.
7. What is the name of Cleopatra's strongman lover?

Answer: Hercules

Hercules was played by Henry Victor.
8. What do the freaks do at the wedding feast?

Answer: They initiate a ceremony to make Cleopatra one of them.

Angeleno (Angelo Rossitto) brings a chalice around the table for everyone to drink from as the freaks chant, "One of us! One of us! We accept her! We accept her!"
9. How does Cleopatra try to get rid of Hans?

Answer: She poisons him.

She poisons his wine at the wedding feast, which makes him ill. She then gives him poison instead of medicine while supposedly nursing him back to health.
10. What eventually happens to Hercules?

Answer: We don't know. The movie focuses on the freaks' revenge on Cleopatra.

The original ending, which has been lost, has Hercules singing soprano in a freak show, indicating that the freaks had castrated him. But the test audience response to that scene was so overwhelmingly negative that the scene was cut. We see the freaks approaching him in a threatening manner, but we never see what they do to him.
