Reverend Otis Jones is a faith healer who stops at a service station to get
his car repaired. The station's owner Aaron Menefee is an honest man who
impresses the reverend so much that he agrees to cure his ulcer. Aaron becomes
attracted to Rev. Jones's daughter Emily. He quits his job and joins the
reverend's revival show. Aaron wants to marry Emily, but the reverend does not
give his permission. The reverend does not believe Aaron's faith in him is
strong enough for him to marry his daughter. Later the revival returns to
Aaron's town. Aaron discovers that the town doctor is being held by two
hoodlums, one of whom is injured. Aaron believes that this is a test of faith.
He calls for Reverend Jones to cure the injured man. The hoodlums warn that
Jones will be killed if his faith healing does not work. The end result in
never shown, but Aaron wins either way. Either the faith healing works and
Aaron's faith is demonstrated, or the faith healing fails and Jones is killed.
In either case, it seems that Aaron will be free to marry Emily.
