Is the TV evangelist a healer or is he something else? In an effort to enlarge the congregation of the Holy Gospel Fundamentalist Church and to make a name for himself, Rev. Berkley invites TV evangelist Torrance Pierson to bring his tent revival to their small Ohio town. Some of the people are excited to have him; others are skeptical. Berkley's sister Molly is one of the skeptical ones. Molly, a widow and out of work, has brought her fifteen year old daughter to live with her brother in Hyattville, Ohio. But she and Berkley have never seen eye to eye. Lou Haines, owner and editor of the local newspaper, has it out for Berkley because of some secret horror in his past. But he can't help being drawn to Molly in spite of her narrow-minded brother. When Pierson sets up his tent revival, interest in the TV preacher grows. And when he actually heals a blind man, the media get hold of the news. What no one seems to notice is the number of people collapsing at the revival meetings when the preacher performs his miracles.
