Regis Toomey is frustrated that his congregation received his sermon about charity with "nice sermon, Pastor" and then on to the flower arrangement for next Sunday. Meanwhile, war refugee John Qualen has just received a telegram that his wife has died on her way to join him. Seeking advice, he wanders the street until he reaches Toomey's church. Toomey sees something is wrong with Qualen, and tries to get to him, but the crowds of well-wishers block him. Qualen steps off the sidewalk and is hit by Cheryl Walker's car. She's the daughter of an enormously successful contractor on her way home from the country club. Hugh Beaumont, a failing contractor but devout Christian, goes to help Qualen, with a sharp remark about a large checkbook.

It's a movie sponsored by the Lutheran Church about how faith and the good works it engenders solves all problems. Faith is a meaningless word to me. I simply observe that the people in this movie are good people who attribute their goodness to G*d. That's something I've observed in the few purely good people I've known. It's a nicely balanced movie. G*d seems to have no place in making things happen, for for belief in Him inspiring the characters.

It's a good cast under the direction of Frank Strayer, taking a break from the Blondie. Series. With Margaret Hamilton, Addison Richards, Nana Bryant, Mae Clarke, and Ann Doran.
