Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this gangster movie, a criminal king-pin and his gang hide out in his hometown where they witness a religious revival that inspires the man to begin billing himself as a "born-again" evangelist so he can cash in on the guilty consciences of local businessmen. At first he keeps it all for himself, but eventually his conscience kicks in and uses the money for good.
