Instead of Rev. Hill taking evidence to Treasury agents himself, they come to him when they hear one of his televised sermons on North Haven's gambling problem. They want the male parishioners to help them take down the local gambling racket but, as what happened in real life, they all think it's a good idea but are afraid of getting involved. Also as what happened in real life, the T-Men are reluctant to have the women help. But the women are their only option so they are allowed to help, with the same disastrous results and, again, they're forced to follow the money.

Reverend Michael Hill and his two children, a boy and a girl (but no [[ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily baby]]), have just moved to the town of North Haven, where the reverend takes over as the pastor for North Avenue Presbyterian. The reverend has big plans for the church and almost immediately asks one of the church ladies to watch over all the money in the kitty. Right before his first sermon, Rev. Hill learns that all the money is gone and the church lady's husband lost it on a horse. The reverend then gives what is likely the shortest sermon in the church's history, he and the church lady hop on his motorcycle, and they go to see the husband's bookie in hopes of getting the money back. Rev. Hill is quickly ushered out the back door instead and the bookie joint has disappeared by the time he returns with the police. Infuriated, Rev. Hill goes after TheMob himself.
