A feature length documentary that explores the forgotten lives of a pair of suicidal clowns who inspired Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Behind the stars of vaudeville are inspirational figures whose names have been lost to history. The film is an unflinching look at the role played by depression in helping shape the medium of cinema.
