Joining director Frank Capra's opening scene, Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck) tells the congregation of the death of her father, their pastor, upon being fired, and lets loose, Sam Hardy as the impressed visitor Hornsby, in The Miracle Woman, 1931.

Sharing news of the unexplained death of a troublesome employee, crooked manager Hornsby (Sam Hardy) turns the screws on corrupted faith-healer Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck), after a performance, in Frank Capra's The Miracle Woman, 1931.
