There were many movies dealing with same subject as missionaries on China as Gregory Peck's THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM, Deborah Kerr's BLACK NASCISSUS Ingrid Bergman's THE INN OF THE SIXTY HAPPINESS, Anne Bancroft's 7 WOMEN and so on, Boggie as James Carmody enters in this small list as pony father trying escape from the clutches of the mighty Mieh Yang (Lee J. Cobb) due he saves your life taking care him after an airplane crash on nearby area inside of China, hereinafter he has to work as tax collector almost as captive, thus when the real Father O'Shea passing by there was deadly shot, Carmody envisages if wearing O'Shea's cassock that has free pass on those far off provinces.

Just arriving at small village introducing as the own Father O'Shea, expecting stay a little while until get the annual caravan of trading, where he supposed slipping away, however he never would've guessed that such place he'll be awarded by many positive stuff made on behalf of faith for those less fortunate on poor village, also getting wonderment by them, meanwhile the beauty American nurse Anne Scott (Gene Tierney) who has a mutual forbidden platonic romance interest, also the pugnacious American Dr. David Sigman (E. G. Marshall) and his sneaky wife Beryl Sigman (Agnes Moorehead), although everything will changes with a sudden arrival of the dreadful Mieh Yang expecting Carmody returning or the villagers would pay expensive by his decision-making.

Interesting plotline mainly over Boggie and Lee J. Cobb that just enters in the middle of the story, squabbling among themselves about an alleged return, actually both have a self-respect each other, in one hand Yang aside be a tough nut to crack is conscious that Carmody is an undeniable pleasant guy who is frantically requires at your side on a whim, in opposite hand Carmody needs breath his countryside air to live, fine struggle of egos settled playing dices.
