Reverend Vernon Birch is one of those charismatic American evangelists. He whips up the crowd and miraculously cures the sick and the lame.
It is a slick medicine show and the good Reverend is here in Britain. Lytton investigates and pretty soon he and his team discover that the same people get cured in each show.
This was an era when televangelists were big on US television. So no surprise that the show wants to bring them down a peg or two. It does have a surprise when a mute elderly woman suddenly starts to speak and no one can understand how it happened.
This is a new era for Lytton. The paper has a new younger editor and he wants things like rock music covered.
I suppose the twist that the miracle man may had performed a genuine miracle is nice but not actually original.
