Summary
Amidst the dust-choked lawlessness of a frontier mining settlement, Reverend Ezekiel Pepp descends like a self-appointed angel of wrath, Bible clutched in one hand and knuckles whitened in the other. His valet Charlie – a portrait of anxious servitude – trails behind as the preacher declares holy war on whiskey-soaked saloons and gambling dens. What unfolds is a grotesque ballet of salvation through brutality: Pepp demolishes sinners with righteous uppercuts between scripture verses, turning confessionals into boxing rings. Charlie becomes the unwilling custodian of this sacred violence, polishing bloodstained collars and wrestling with his own moral paralysis as the camp's resistance hardens into explosive defiance against this fist-first evangelism.
Synopsis
Charlie is the valet of a forceful missionary who attempts to revolutionize the morals of a mining camp with his fists and his Bible.
