The Inn of the Sixth Happiness -- All her life Englishwoman Gladys Aylward knew that China was the place where she belonged. Not qualified to be sent there as a missionary, Gladys works as a domestic to earn the money to send herself to a poor, remote village.

Three bank robbers are about to pull a big heist on a small Arizona mining town, but first they spend time casing the town to get to know the various townsfolk. There's Shelley Martin, a man who is a disappointment to his son because he didn't serve in the war; a seemingly timid bank manager who is a peeping tom by night; an adulterous wife of a local leading citizen; and an Amish farmer who is forced to take violent action when his children are threatened by the criminals.

China, 1947. In a remote province on a violently stormy night, a man in priestly robes - and carrying a gun - stumbles into a Catholic mission, where he is welcomed as "Father O'Shea" by Dr. David Sigman and his wife, Beryl. But the priest is actually Jim Carmody, an American pilot who crash-landed in China during WWII and has been a prisoner of General Yang for several years in his Communist re-education camp. He has just escaped, wearing the robes of the real Father O'Shea, who was murdered in the camp. Carmody quickly finds that he's in a new kind of prison, and since he has been assumed to be the priest, the cynical military man must act like one, and not let the facade slip.
