Episode description
Eng and Chang Bunker were the original Siamese twins that were taken from the home in Siam in the 1800's and brought to America to perform as a freak show exhibit. They became rich men, settled down, bought a plantation, owned slaves, and then lost all of their money after the Civil War. Their lives are a real rollercoaster of emotions.
