当Charles Stratton五岁的时候，他开始停止生长，他的母亲带他去见了著名的表演大师 P．T．Barnum，并且认为一个矮小的人将会是完美的，除了他的表演外。他雇了Charles的父母陪伴着他，并且他们一起环游世界。他给了两英尺高的Charles一个新名字，就是普通的 Tom Thumb。他教Tom怎样唱歌，跳舞，表演以及讲笑话，当他感觉到Ton已经准备好了在舞台上表演的时候，他贴出了广告。为了激起人们极大的兴趣，他对外宣称Tom只有11岁，来自英格兰。
Tom的表演十分受欢迎，并且赚了许多钱，此时，Tom已经是一个成年人了，他变得非常富有，并且在他二十五岁地时候成为了亿万富翁。
对于Tom，他幸运的是，Barnum先生额外加了一些“小人”到他的节目里，然后Tom的爱情也变得十分幸运，在这些“小人”中，有一个叫做Lavonia Warren，她是一名教师。之后Tom赢得了她的爱，他们幸福的结婚了。
他们的结婚仪式和接待成为了这个小镇的热门话题。许多富人和名人都参加了他们的婚礼，客客人加起来大约有两千人。许多人拥挤在纽约大街上，就是为了看一眼他们的结婚小马车。在他们到达他们的住处也就是Tom在Connecticut的房子之前，他们在他们的蜜月旅行中遇到了Abraham Lincoln 总统。
他们的婚礼是在内战期间举行的，因此可以使人们暂时从战争的悲伤的问题中解脱出来。由于不愿意让这一点点的阳光褪色，全国各地的社区都举行了Tom Thumb的婚礼。在这些婚礼中，小男孩小女孩们，全都盛装打扮，从婚礼中得到快乐。
