Fredric March quits med school to become a minister after being "inspired" one day in church. His girl decides to marry him anyway, much to the dismay of her parents. They spend their life moving from one church to another, living in broken down homes, raising their children to be an example to others and dealing with a series of minor crises. There are a couple of interesting scenes, such as when March agrees to watch a William S. Hart silent western so he can prove to his son how immoral the movies are but ends up liking it, but mostly it's episodic and preachy.
