Summary
One man's fervent pursuit of wealth and power leads him to religion for profit in the evangelist tents of the 1920's Midwestern Corn Belt. "Handsome, opportunistic, immoral, traveling salesman Elmer Gantry is all this and more. So when he stumbles into a revival meeting and discovers that he can hustle money in a tent-show as easily as in a saloon, Gantry converts to evangelism. Joining forces with Sister Sharon Falconer he delivers demon-bashing oratories that bring him fame and fortune. But when an old flame re-appears, Gantry is forced to confront demons of a more worldly order, long buried secrets that will make his saintly life a veritable Hell on earth"--Container
