A small town preacher is upset that his sermons are drawing less and less of a crowd. His sister is less worried about the crowds than the message, but the preacher is desperate to get more people to come... so he's got some live rattlesnakes, complete with the prerequisite venom.

[[BeliefMakesYouStupid Predictability ensues]] as the preacher is bitten by the very upset snake, who does not like this weird stranger handling it. Just as the preacher seems to die, he gets back up, and manages to heal a man who has lost his leg.
