A sharecropper decides to become a preacher after falling for a vamp from the city.

In a juke joint, sharecropper Zeke falls for beautiful dancer Chick, but she's only setting him up for a rigged craps game. He loses $100, the money he got for the sale of his family's entire cotton crop. His brother Spunk is mortally wounded in the shoot-out that follows. Zeke goes away, then returns as Brother Zekiel the preacher. His forceful preaching draws the faithful in large numbers. Even Chick wants to be saved. Zekiel has asked the pretty Missy Rose to marry him, but Chick can still cast a spell over the preacher.—David Steele
