A priest turns his face to the cross, uttering the words, "Lord, whatever is, is the work of your hand." The stage is set. People have thrown aside the Lord's commandments, and the people of the priest's town are worthy of the Lord's wrath, though no more so than the rest of the world. "Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord."</B></div> <div> <B>The priest preaches to a church with only three people, saying that the lost children must answer to God. It's his last sermon, for a new priest will be there in the pulpit. Scene shifts to the town. 1920's.  Sexual innuendoes fly as clerks sell dresses. The priest tells the bank owner that more people are sadly now more interested in attending his church than the Lord's. The banker puts the screws to the good Reverend Cage for a late loan payment. As the reverend heads out of town, a storm is coming in, and night is falling. The reverend's horse and buggy cross an eerily lit covered bridge, and Rev. Cage sees Death walking toward the town. He bows his head "As I saw it, it is come."</B></div> <div> <B>The townsfolk are a surly, argumentative lot. Mrs. Fitch has it in for the children that accidentally threw a ball in her precious flower garden. She calls the Sheriff, and sends him after the kids. He catches up to the kids and gives them a friendly warning. Mrs. Fitch calls the Sheriff and tells him that if he won't protect her flowers, she will. She poisons the kids pet goat, and the kids retaliate by throwing rocks at her house. The Sheriff shows up, collects the kids, and tells off the cantankerous widow, Mrs. Fitch. Easter finery is advertised in a storefront window, as George, the thankless son of the local gas station owner asks a lawyer about getting his elderly parents committed to the County Home. He tricks them into signing a power of attorney form, and he plans to sell everything to be free of the town. Death himself comes and kills Mrs. Fitch's flowers, luring her out of the house. Hands rise out of the earth and pull her under, the hole belching fire. The enormously fat banker refuses to give his clerk Sunday off. The banker drives to see farmer Morgan who is indebted to him. The farmer's loan gets called in, and the banker whistles happily to himself. The farmer goes to see Jess Hill, a prominent local man. Hill agrees to float Morgan's loan.  Yet, when farmer Morgan goes to collect at the bank, the banker pulls a gun on him, telling him to get off the farm. Turns out, Hill is a scumbag too. That night, the Sheriff accompanies the banker to evict Morgan from the house he's spent his life in. Holding them off briefly with a shotgun, Morgan vows never to leave, then turns the gun on himself.  So, he never does leave. Greg the lawyer and Missy, George the backstabbing gasbuy's girlfriend, go the gas station to collect George, and find him hysterical. He doesn't acknowledge their presence, and seems to see Death. The decide to bring him the the State Asylum. The same hell-hole George had plotted to committ his parents to. Mr. Kaylor, a local business owner, is hopelessly devoted to his much younger wife Ruby. Unfortunately, he expresses his devotion by buying Ruby presents. So Ruby finds comfort in the company of senior clerk Kenneth. Mr. Kaylor arrives home early from a shopping trip. Finding Ruby and Kenneth on the couch together, Mr. Kaylor starts a fight, immediately suffering a myocardial infarction (heart attack). In an effort to make it look like an accident, the two scheming adulterers set the body in Mr. Kaylor's car, sending it to a blazing crash. Kenneth concocts a story, and plans to run things "business as usual". Death locks Mr. Sharp, the banker, in Mr. Morgan's cold storage shed, where a red eyed ghoul takes his life.</B></div> <div> <B>In the longest continuous segment, Charlie Milford angrily and wrongly kills his wife Grace and Sid Martin, his former boss, falsely accusing them of having an affair. Death then beheads Charlie with his scythe (The film's only gore.) Death then leads all of the film's sinners single file through a dark passageway where they view a lofty white lighted door, but soon realize that this is not their fate. They then turn and see the fiery hell that awaits them. All the sinners then wake up screaming, and all go about their business smiling at the ones who had they had sinned against. In the fashion of Dickenson's "A Christmas Carol", all of the horrors were dreamed. A long queue forms outside the church, parishioners streaming in. The new preacher arrives, clad in a black cape. He walks to the pulpit, It is the man who had been Death. "Welcome," says the new reverend, "I feel as though I know many of you already. Our sermon is:  As ye sow, so shall ye reap." All join in the singing of a hymn. The film ends with an outside shot of the church, the Ten Commandments scrolling by.  A strong warning against sin.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
