When Lida becomes a young woman, Nikita sees a performer flirting with her and suddenly realizes how beautiful she has grown. In order to keep Lida by his side, Nikita proposes marriage to her, and she accepts out of gratitude. On the eve of their wedding, the circus hires a young magician named Trelawney as their new headliner, and he and Lida fall in love instantly. They are separated when Nikita takes Lida on a lengthy honeymoon, but when they return, Nikita discovers that the public is now more enamored of Trelawney's act than his act.

When he finds Lida and Trelawney together, he nearly kills them in a rage, but the circus manager, Korn, intervenes and insists Nikita return to complete his act. Heartbroken, Nikita purposely turns his back on the lion during the act and is killed.
