In the late in the 23rd century, an outdated star ship is on a ten-year reclamation project. The crew is in suspended animation and awakens to find a mysterious object floating in space. The pod contains the body of a rebel who was supposedly executed 150 years earlier for the slaughter of more than a million people.

Ezra and his daughter, Sarah, work together on the revival circuit. They do a phony healing act performing miracles with prearranged plants. When a strange young man in a wheelchair approaches Ezra, he lays his hands on him and he is healed. He receives a proposition that if he teaches him the art of the revival meetings, this young man will continue to help him in his act.
