Florence Fallon is the daughter of a preacher who is about to give his last sermon, but passes away before he gets a chance. Florence stands up in front of the congregation and attacks them, accusing them of not being appreciative of her father and revealing that she has lost her faith. Bob Hornsby, a con man, talks Florence into working an angle with him, having her perform fake miracles for money. She profits from the racket, but when she meets a blind man, the two fall in love.
