Soon after he announced in a direct mail letter that "Tammy and I are giving every penny of our life's savings to PTL." Bakker bought a $24,000 Drifter houseboat with white shag carpeting, two wood paneled bedrooms, TV, gas grill, and refrigerator.

And one wild street donnybrook introduces a hilarious Cairene Fagin whose thievery steals more scenes than secrets...
