In the film, a radio preacher's operation is covertly controlled by his son. When the father finds a more skilled (and less honest) talent agent to promote his act, he severes all ties with his son. The son has the idea to turn a female rock and roll singer into the televangelist and faith healer Sister Ruth. Her act is a success, but her craving for cocaine and her sexual promiscuity are threatening her reputation. Investigative reporters find out that Ruth had an abortion, and a church leader uses the information to blackmail her.
