1:G:7) The Gospel According to Legend

First Broadcast: Monday June 12th 1995
Writer: John Considine
Director: Michael Vejar

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affection and the truth of imagination. -- Pratt, quoting Keats.
Lose the kid. -- E.C. Allen

A preacher comes to town and holds a tent meeting. Things quickly turn ugly when the evangelist speaks out against science in general and Janos Bartok in particular. Pratt knows that the bible-thumper is a swindler and he and Bartok have to figure out what the con is. When they do they must contend with the violent mob that the preacher incites.
