Father Vincent is attempting to build a church in a district of La Californie.  Goaded by a shady innkeeper, a gang of heathens try to repel him by throwing stones at him.  The priest is not easily deflected from his mission.  Gradually, he builds his church and draws his opponents back into his flock, including the most intransigent of them all, Bibi.
