 Matthew Crowe (Fabian), a whoring, pot-smoking, wandering singer teams up with a tent-show preacher. The preacher recognizes Mathew s charisma, and together they collect big donations delivering sermons with rocking gospel songs.Soon enough, Matthew lands a record deal, and the older man becomes the manager of Crowe s new act: Matthew, Son of Jesus. They hire a backup group of mustachioed rock musicians, who play in brown monks  robes, in contrast to Matthew s white robe and sandals. Their debut album becomes a huge hit so they go on a concert tour to promote it.
