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.
