Synopsis
Elmer Gantry est un voyageur de commerce beau parleur qui vit de petites combines et séjourne dans des hôtels miteux. Son chemin croise celui de Sharon Falconer, la prédicatrice de la troupe itinérante « Le Renouveau angélique ». Subjugué par cette dernière, mais flairant également la bonne affaire, Gantry lui propose ses services. Brillant par sa verve et son charisme, il rencontre un grand succès. Mais son tumultueux passé pourrait bien le rattraper…
