Synopsis

Barbara is a major in the Salvation Army - but shes also the daughter of Andrew Undershaft, a man whos made millions from the sale of weapons of war. The real battle, however, rages between between the devilish father and his idealistic daughter as they answer the question: does salvation come through faith or finance?
