The Miracle Woman
Following her father's dismissal, Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck) assumes leadership of his church where shady promoter Bob Hornsby recognizes her potential as a faith healer. Lured by the money, Florence plays along as Hornsby hires shills to pretend they've been healed, until meeting blind veteran John Carson causes her to have second thoughts. Facing criminal charges, Hornsby threatens Florence with exposure unless she runs away with him. Though John tries to restore her faith by pretending that he can see again, she's determined to confess, until a fight leaves Hornsby electrocuted and sparks a fire that destroys the church, forcing Florence to help lead a panicked congregation to safety before John saves her from the flames.
