Charlatan evangelist Jonas Nightingale's entourage, whose faith healing targets the sick, is stranded in the small town of Rustwater, Kansas until one of their trucks can be repaired. Seemingly a poor target for their schtick, they set about anyway gaining the necessary permit and setting up a show. Atypical serious role yields one of Steve Martin's best performances. Filmed on location in Plainview, Texas.
