A new Cirkusrevyen season is commencing and Preben Kaas has problems with the revue's main attraction, Dirch Passer. The task of finding the ideal dancers to both entertain and attract the audience falls on choreographer Tutter.

The revue is facing a rough year, which indicates that the dancers have to take a pay cut; Sussie teams up with Ulla-Berit and they decide to handle things on their own.

The revue is struggling without Dirch and the financial crisis frustrates Preben; Ulla-Berit convinces Sussie to join her at an exclusive party.

Everything is at stake on the huge press day, as it is crucial that the press admire the revue; Sussie talks to an advocate with the hope of getting an apartment.

The grand opening night of the revue arrives; Prebhen gives Mimi a break; Tutter once again confronts Diana; Sussie eagerly anticipates Robert going out of town.

Rikke hasn't said a word since the opening night, so Sussie takes her to the doctor; the revue faces serious consequences when a heatwave hits Denmark.
