This religious film is a collection of sermons, light on theology and morality but heavy on conservative politics.
Peter is a Scottish man who leaves to live in USA, where his ambition leads him from a small Episcopalian church in flyover country to being the priest of the White House and a Senator.
He marries a dull woman and conveniently dies off before the complications of middle age.
Peter Todd played this character just a year after the totally immoral trainwreck of a film "Don't bother to knock".
