Loosely based on actual feral clowns of the mid- to late-twentieth century, the film is a methodical and anatomical examination of different communities of clowns' obsession with being perceived as cannibalistic.

Silverbug made the film as a satire of the dysfunctional clown rodeo circuit at the time he was first starting out as barrel salesman.
