Elmer Gantry is a fast talking, hard drinking traveling salesman who
always has a risqué story and a hip flask to entertain cronies and
customers alike. He is immediately taken with Sister Sharon Falconer,
a lay preacher whose hellfire and damnation revivalism has attracted
quite a following. Gantry uses his own quick wit and knowledge of the
bible to become an indispensable part of Sister Sharon's roadshow but
soon finds that his past catches up with him in the form of Lulu
Bains, now a prostitute. While Gantry seeks and eventually gets
forgiveness from Sharon, tragedy strikes when she finally manages to
get out of her revivalist tent and opens a permanent church.
