Carny or Carnie is a slang term for a carnival employee, as well as the language they employ. A carny is anyone who runs a "joint" (booth), "grab joint" (food stand), game, or ride at a carnival.

A carnival comes to a small town. Eighteen year old Donna meets Frankie and Patch, two carnival hustlers. They earn their living by mercilessly taunting spectators to try to dump one of them into the water by throwing balls. Donna is tired of her work as a waitress and follows them through the South.
