His head is always hooded, and his "owner," who views him as retarded, is paid by Treves to bring him to the hospital for exams. He shows Merrick to his colleagues and highlights his monstrous skull, which forces him to sleep with his head on his knees, since if he were to lie down, he would asphyxiate.

En 1910, un cirque itinérant s’arrête dans une petite ville. Le directeur a pour pseudonyme Sacha Obolski. C’est le frère, disparu vingt ans auparavant, d’un fabricant de nains de jardin, Albert Oberholzer, habitant la ville. De son vrai nom Alexander Oberholzer, il est revenu pour fêter l’anniversaire de son frère. Les petits-bourgeois déconcertés font la connaissance de sa ravissante épouse Iduna, qui chante une chanson en hommage à son père, un clown célèbre. Elle fait tourner la tête aux beaux-frères qui sont d’honnêtes maris, ce qui ne manque pas de créer des conflits.
