Movie Info

Insurance salesman Clarence Hilliard (Timothy Carey) falls under the influence of the devil (James Farley), quits his job and becomes an offbeat evangelist, preaching that every man is eternal and calling himself "the God Hilliard." His cult-like following explodes as he spreads his philosophy through hip-swiveling rock 'n' roll. Soon he grows wealthy, seduces women of all ages and runs for president. But, when those closest to Hilliard desert him, he must face himself -- and the actual God.
