Patsy Sanderson, an orphaned teenager, believes she is a child of God and has been taught by her guardian Mrs. Perkins to rely on Bible verses for guidance. After Mrs. Perkins' sudden death, Patsy flees to Egypt, NJ, interpreting a Bible verse as a sign to go there. She meets Tommy Wilks, whose father Red is a drunkard, and later the Creightons, who want to adopt her despite already having three children. However, Patsy's jinxed belief is triggered when Jim is fired for writing an editorial against Luther Marvin, the town's richest and meanest man, causing Red to lose his job as well. In search of a new path, Patsy believes that saving the Creightons, Wilkses, and herself requires taking on Luther Marvin.
