Little Joe (Eddie Anderson) is a compulsive gambler who promises his wife Petunia (Ethel Waters) that he will quit gambling, and confess his sins at church. Instead, Little Joe slips out the side door and finds a casino to gamble at. While there, he is shot and severely injured. He is given a six month reprieve, and Heaven's forces, led by The General (Kenneth Spencer) fight for Little Joe. Those below, led by Lucifer Jr. (Rex Ingram), are also fighting for Little Joe. Lucifer Jr. has the help of Georgia Brown (Lena Home), a sultry singer. Both sides cook up scheme to win Joe's soul. Which side will win in this ultimate battle between good and evil? |
