Bing is Father "Chuck" O'Malley, a cheerful young priest sent to turn around the fortunes of St. Dominic's Church, a parish church in New York City. St. Dominic's isn't doing that well, with the church well behind on its mortgage payments and the mortgage holder threatening foreclosure. Parish priest Father Fitzgibbon (Creator/BarryFitzgerald), a kindly man but set in his traditionalist ways, does not take well to Father O'Malley, who is easygoing and casual and does stuff like play golf. What Father Fitzgibbon doesn't know is that Father O'Malley has actually been designated to take over St. Dominic's, but in secret so as not to hurt Father Fitzgibbon's feelings.
