Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen

and welcome
to what we modestly call

"The Greatest Show on Earth."

Becoming an animal trainer
is not difficult at all.

Anyone who has raised children

already possesses
the proper humility.

Our star performer, Gordon,

will now jump
from this stool to this one.

I think you will appreciate
his performance more

when you realize
that Gordon is a flea.

He’s getting ready.
By the way, Gordon

is the one in the blue trunks.

-[knock, knock, knock]
-There he goes.

-[knock]
-Well done.

As for those trunks,

he can pick them up
when he returns.

Now, for a riddle:

What has no legs,

is a bit thick,

definitely does not fly

and is one minute long?

Here is the answer.

[engine stalling]

Howdy.

You got a sick car there.

Don’t get out,
leave the engine running.

We’re 60 miles from
a special meeting, and late.

It’s the carburetor.

You can shut it off now.

Seems like it was just worked on
but whoever did it,
sure messed it up.

How long will it take to fix?

I can do it while you wait.

How much will it cost?

Oh, about...
$2 should do it.

$2?

[mechanic]
I hope I didn’t upset you.

It’s rare indeed
to be upset by honesty.

$2 indeed!

Why, most mechanics usually hit
me for $8, $10.

Sure, because they don’t like
their work.

They gotta charge more.

Me, I love engines.

Look in here now.

-[groans]
-What’s wrong?

Nothing.

Least wise,
nothing to be helped.

[groans]

It’s an ulcer.

Ah! I’m on milk, potatoes

and prayer to heal it, but...

I don’t believe you really know
who I am, do you?

Otis Jones.

Healer Jones, they call me.

Two hundred radio
and TV stations,

Coast to Coast,
carry my Faith Meetings.

I don’t hold with radio and TV.

From what I hear, there’s a load
of sinful stuff on ’em.

[groans] Drinking and killing,
and sinful women.

There is no sin
or temptation on my show,

just healing, brother.

Do you have faith, brother?

I’ve prayed, yes.

I’ve prayed till
my knees were skinned raw.

Take my hand. Go on, take it.

Now let the power pour
into you!

Let it pour!

There.

There.

Well, I’ll be...

You’ve got faith, brother.

You come to my meeting tonight

and I’ll turn
all my power on you,

and heal you
from this day henceforth.

Daughter! The address, please.

Emily Jones, this is...

Aaron Menefee.

Aaron Menefee,

come along, you hear?

You’ve got to have faith,
sister.

Oh, I do, I do.

Turn around.

Now let me soothe
with the power of love.

Now, hold your head high.

Hold it proud, sister, in faith.

Now let me unbind

and set you free of this agony.

Do you feel power, sister?

[woman]
Oh, I do!

Say: The power is in me.

[woman]
The power is in me.

[Jones]
Say: I am healed.

[woman sobbing]
I... am... healed.

Walk tall, sister.

Show them
your pain-cleansed face!

Show them! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

[Jones]
Sister, thank you.

Next!

Now, is brother Menefee
in the house?

Aaron Menefee?

Aaron Menefee, that’s me!

Come forward, brother.

Come, right along.

What is your affliction?

Ulcers.

Do you hear that?

This big,
good-looking young man,

in the prime of life
is being eaten away

by a sickness
that defies man’s medicine,

and yet he has the faith

to come before me
and seek deliverance.

Do you believe he can be healed?

Yes.

Aaron Menefee,

do you believe
you can be healed?

I can be healed.

Then bend your head.
Bend your head

and make sure that your faith
is as strong as my power.

Do you believe?

I believe.

Then seize this hand, seize it!

We will let
the other hand descend

to drive the evil out!

Drive it out!

[panting]
I’m healed.

I’m healed.

Say it again, brother!

Cry it aloud in your jubilation!

-It’s gone, it’s a miracle!
-[murmurs]

-Do you hear that!
-I’m healed.

-I’m healed.
-Do you hear that,
brothers and sisters?

-[chattering]
-I’m really healed.

Oh, sister,
by the power of the Healer,

my affliction is cured.
It’s gone.

My pain is gone.

I’m healed.

I’m healed, I’m really healed.

[Jones]
My, my!

All these faith offerings!

Dump it, brother! Dump it.

-[chuckles]
-Did you see him, Daddy?

First time a healed person
ever got so grateful

he just took the basket
out of my hand

and run through the audience
asking for faith offerings!

Look!

You’re really grateful, huh?

I’m healed.

So is my car!
You did a fine job.

How would you like
to go to work for me?

Be my chauffeur.

You mean, really? All the time?

All the time.

I bet he’s the kind of young man
would get back half his salary

each week as a faith offering
to help some sinner.

Oh, I will! I will!

What kind of a life is that?

An auto mechanic
for a traveling tent show?

-Chauffeur.
-Mechanic.

Working day and night

and for less money
than Abe Nolan pays you
at the gas station.

Making a holy show
of yourself at those meetings,

and living with a bunch
of swindling strangers!

You’ll find out
what it’s like, boy.

Dr. Buckles, I’ve been called.

And I’m following the call.

Called?

You were called to rid
yourself of lustful thoughts

by rolling around naked
in the snow one night,

so that I had to pull you
through pneumonia.

You were called to bust up
Glenn Lyman’s rabbit traps
every time he set them out.

So you had to go to jail
twice already for doing that.

Seems like every time
you’re "called" it means
trouble for you, Aaron.

-My body was healed.
-Bunk.

You never had an ulcer!

And you ain’t got one now.

Trouble is, ever since you were
a kid, your dad’s filled you

so full of his hellfire
and speaking in strange tongues
and fear of the devil

that no wonder he’s got
your stomach all tied up
in knots.

This Otis Jones is no better
than your pop.

He can’t cure anything.

Whatever I got,

could you ever cure it, Doc?

[clicks tongue]

Good-bye, Aaron.

Good-bye, Doc.

If I pass this way again,
I’ll drop by and say hello.

[Aaron] We moved along
town by town,

and the faith offerings
kept pouring in

like the great flood itself.

From people who wanted the
Healer’s good work carried on.

It was a fine time.

But then, the trouble began.

What trouble?

Emily Jones,
the Healer’s daughter.

She was everywhere.

The devil rose up
terrible in my mind.

I broke into sweats.

I had to take cold baths
to rid the devil from my mind.

Aaron Menefee,
what are you doing?

That’s three times today
you’ve been soaking!

Y-y-you keeping count?

[chuckles]
Aaron,

you’ll catch your death a cold!
Get out!

Get out, you hear?

It’s a fine afternoon.

You’re gonna take me
for a row in a boat.

Or you’re fired.

The Healer’s daughter, speaking.

Fired, unless!

Well?

I’ll b-be right there.

[laughs]

Miss Emily?

The devil is in me.

The devil’s in us all, Aaron.

Yes, but he says to me

"Feel that wind."

It’s a fine wind.

"Listen to them birds."

Fine singing.

Yes, but then he says,

"Hold her hand,

touch her hair."

-I’ll help you, Aaron.
-Oh, thank you.

Miss Emily,
that’s no help at all!

The Good Book says

"Arise my love, my fair one,
and come with me!"

There’s a legal
and holy way of doing it.

You mean get married?

Do you have any objections
to matrimony, Aaron?

I don’t guess I have.

But, I never thought that I was
ready for it.

Aaron, you’re 25
and long overdue.

That’s what those thoughts
have been trying to tell you.

Emily, what’s the Healer
gonna think about this?

Everything I am, I owe to him.

We must ask his blessing.

Aaron, I’m Pa’s only child.

Let’s skip off first
and get married and then ask
for his blessing.

No, that would be sharper
than a serpent’s tooth.

We can’t do it that way.

We can’t?

No!

Now it’s got to be done right
or not at all.

Testing! One, two, three.
One, two.

Isn’t that fine, Brother Fish?

Fine new microphone!

Brand spanking
new loudspeakers.

Brother Menefee!

How do you like
the new equipment?

You may--
You may leave, Brother Fish.

Emily.

Child,

what have you two been up to?

Sit down, Emily.

You got something to say,
brother?

Sir, could we talk, private?

I can hear you fine.

Now, stay where you are.

Well?

Well...

The fact is we’re going
to be married.

No, sir.

That is not a fact,
that is a desire.

The fact is you want
to get married.

Well, y-yes.

There is a lot of difference
between wanting
and having, brother.

Sir, I leave it up to you
whether I’m worthy or not.

Although I have hopes
that you’ll see it in the way
Miss Emily and I do.

Brother Menefee,

you are one of
the worthiest souls that I know.

But there’s a lot more to it
than that.

Emily, my only begotten child,

is heir to all that has come
my way.

And believe me,

a lot has come my way
this past year.

If you’re saying Aaron wants
to marry me for my money,

you can take my word for it
he doesn’t.

I do not say that.

What I do say is that I got
a mighty big proposition
on my hands here,

a mighty big proposition.

What with the offerings
from the meetings,

the national hookups
and the book sales.

It will take a big man
to step into my shoes.

If you’re talking
about Charlie Fish,

I wouldn’t marry him if he were
the last man on earth!

He makes my skin crawl!

All right.

All right, not Charlie Fish.

But someone with his talents.

When the power came down to me,

I reaped a mighty harvest.

Tax-free.

Now, some day, Emily,
that will be yours.

Worthy as Brother Menefee
may be,

he is not the right man for
your wedded mate and partner.

I cannot give my blessing.

I have faith in you, Healer,

but it’s a tough row
you’ve given me to hoe.

No woman ever made me feel
the way Miss Emily does.

As long as I am on earth,

I reign over Emily.

When I’m gone to glory,

then she is free
to walk her own path.

But that won’t be
for a long time, Brother,

a long time.

Not with the way my health is

and the Power that is in me.

So, I suggest

that you hoe that long row,

and keep your eye peeled
for another woman.

Now, if you’ll excuse me,
I have work to do.

[Jones] Brother Fish,
come back in here, please!

[murmuring]
I believe in him.

I believe, I do believe in him.

I believe in him!

I believe in him!

I believe in him.

Aaron, I’ll never marry
anyone else.

I’ll wait for you all my life
if I have to.

[Jones over speakers]
Emily!

Come in here, Emily.

[Aaron]
So, we traveled the circuit.

And at last came full around
again to my old home town.

Doc?

-[Doc] Who is it?
-Aaron Menefee.

Oh, hello, Aaron.

[chuckles] What do you mean
"Hello"? I come to visit.

Not tonight, Aaron.

"Not tonight"?

I-I’ve been away a long time,
I come here special now.

Doc, I got problems.

[Doc]
We all got problems.

I don’t know what yours is,

but this is mine.

Doc, what’s going on?

You sure picked a fine time
to come barging in, Aaron.

[Aaron]
Who’s he?

What does he want here?

He’s a friend, let him be.

No good making trouble
for everyone just because
you’re messed up.

I examined you.

Told you God’s honest truth.

Your legs are paralyzed.

-[man sobbing] Shut up!
-Your legs are paralyzed

and nothing can be done for it.

Not by me, nor anyone.

Is there another doctor
in this jerk-water stop?

-No.
-[man] You lie! You lie!

Mister, I wouldn’t risk my
ever-lasting soul by one lie.

All right, all right!

But who do you go to around here
if you’re hurt bad?

Don’t tell me everybody uses
this old quack?

You can’t walk?

-You can’t--
-I can’t walk! I can’t! No!

You think I’d be sitting here
if I could? I can’t! No!

And you really want to?

Want to? Want to!

Oh, Doc... Doc, sometimes
I think it’s fore-ordained.

-What’s with him?
-Oh, Aaron is just--

Excuse me, Doc.
Oh, do excuse me.

Brother, Doc is a good man

even if there are lots of things
outside his powers.

But I can take you to someone
whose power has never failed.

-[Doc] Aaron.
-Shut up!

He healed me when Doc couldn’t.

I’m sorry, Doc.

He heals all those
who come to him,

no matter what their affliction.

-It’s true.
-Do you realize who this is?

This is Vern Byers!
He’s been shot by the police,
he’s a killer!

-Where is this guy,
this friend of yours?
-Five minutes away.

Here’s $1,000.

Pick it up.

That’s to bring this doctor
friend of yours here.

Tell him there’s another
thousand waiting for him
when he gets here.

All right?

Brother Byers, the Healer
won’t take payment for his work.

But if this is
a faith offering--

Well, call it what you want!
Bring him here!

Aaron, I told you. There’s
nothing anyone can do to help.

He can’t be cured!
His spine’s been damaged!

You keep out of this, Aaron!
And you keep this Healer
friend of yours out of it, too.

Al! Lock this quack up!

Go on now!

Wait a minute!

Come here, shut the door.

-[door closes]
-Now listen.

I killed the doctor
at Crescent City that operated
to take the bullet out of me

and left me so I can’t walk.

Brother Byers, he heals
all those who come to him.

[Byers]
Listen again.

I’ll kill any man

that takes my money and
doesn’t put my legs right again.

-Do you hear?
-Have faith, brother.

Healer? Healer Jones!

Healer Jones.

Oh, praise glory, you’re here!

Healer, there’s a man who needs
your help for a friend of his.

At this hour?
It must be mighty serious.

It is serious!
Look at this faith offering!
$1,000.

And there’s more
where that came from.

Wow!

-Brother Fish,
add this to the tally.
-Yes, Healer.

I guess this is about
the biggest single evening
we’ve ever had!

-$1,000!
-Now, where is this sinner?

I’ve got the car.
We’ll take you there,
Healer, but you better hurry.

Yes, yes, I’ll hurry.
Thank you, daughter. Thank you.

-Healer?
-Yes, yes?

There’s a worrisome thing
about that sinner up there.

Now, brother, you’re not gonna
tell me my business, are you?

Oh no, sir.
It’s just this sinner.

Though he needs your power,
he’s short on faith.

He smell of fire
and brimstone, Healer.

He’s a fearful sinner
all the way.

Brother Menefee,
you’re ignorant.

Anyone who can make
a faith offering like
the one you just gave me

is ready,
ready for my power to enter him.

[Emily]
What Aaron means--

-Healer?
-Oh, thank you, brother,

but I don’t figure to need your
company along this mission.

Well, well.

Now, brother, just...

What is your affliction?

So much for life and death
under the big top.

By the way, the police finally
caught up with Vern Byers

but not before he had done
in Otis Jones.

My final appearance in a moment.

But first, to convince the
cynical that Gordon does exist,

he will now jump
through this hoop.

-[pong, pang, pong]
-[thud]

[pong]

This always happens.

I must remember to use
thinner paper

but, as Gordon would say,
that’s show business.

Which reminds me,
you have seen the show,

now we give you the business.

Good evening. Good to have
you ring side again.

Gordon was miffed as a result
of the accident with the hoop,

and has disappeared.

He first changed
into street clothes, however,

so he will be
much more difficult to find.

He’s wearing
a dark-gray flannel suit,

pearl-gray felt hat,

a blue neck tie

and three pairs of suede shoes.

Now, until next week
at the same time,

goodnight.
