Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck) is outraged when her minister father is fired after many years of selfless service to make way for a younger man. She tells the congregation what she thinks of their ingratitude. Her bitter, impassioned speech impresses Bob Hornsby (Sam Hardy), who convinces her to become a phony preacher for the donations they can squeeze out of gullible believers. She builds up a devoted national following. Then she meets a blind John Carson (David Manners), falls in love, and the sham comes tumbling down. 　　译文(2): 弗洛伦斯 · 法伦(芭芭拉·斯坦威克)对她的牧师父亲在多年的奉献后被解雇，为一个年轻人让路感到愤怒。她告诉会众她对他们忘恩负义的看法。鲍勃 · 霍恩斯比(山姆 · 哈代饰)对她刻薄、热情洋溢的演讲印象深刻，他说服她成为一个虚伪的牧师，因为他们可以从容易上当的信徒那里榨取捐款。她在全国建立了忠实的追随者。然后，她遇到了盲人约翰卡森(大卫礼仪) ，坠入爱河，和虚伪跌倒。
