Dieser Film basiert auf der gleichnamigen Novelle und wurde mit drei Oscars ausgezeichnet: Elmer Gentry reist als Verkäufer durch die USA und ist dabei immer auf der Suche nach dem großen Geld. Als er zufällig auf die Predigerin Sharon Falconer trifft, beschließt er, mithilfe der Frau willige Kirchgänger auszunehmen. Das geht auch eine Zeit lang gut und die beiden entwickeln sogar Gefühle füreinander - bis Elmer von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt wird.
