A Black veteran roaming the Southwest encounters a community of nuns, refugees from eastern Europe, who are struggling to establish their order on a barren piece of land. He is both persuaded and manipulated into helping them build a chapel. (Does not circulate)
Sidney Poitier is an itinerant handyman / jack-of-all-trades who stops at a farm in the Arizona desert to obtain some water for his car. The nuns have essentially no money and subsist by living off the land, on what vegetables the arid climate provides. To earn money to buy some "real food" to supplement the spartan diet the nuns are able to provide him, Smith gets a part-time job with a nearby construction contractor.
