Zeke disappears, only to reappear as a charismatic preacher, Brother Zekiel, whose powerful sermons attract a large following. Even the dancer, Chick, is drawn to his message. However, Zeke's newfound faith is put to the test when he becomes engaged to Missy Rose, but Chick's hold on him remains strong.
