大意:
南達科塔州克朗鎮久旱不雨,民生凋蔽,經濟每況愈下,鎮民苦不堪言。終日火傘高張,滴雨不下,終於引發鎮民賈斯汀‧瓊斯的怒火,認為乾旱是上帝的錯,異想天開地要控告上帝,透過法律途徑要祂負起責任。這場史無前例的「訴訟」引發鎮民不同的反應。有些認為無理取鬧,有些認為賈斯汀褻瀆上帝。開庭當日,黛絲化身上帝的辯護律師,蒙妮卡亦出庭為上帝作證。這場訴訟的過程極其精彩而感人,天使對原告的反問與對鎮民的言語發人深省,員穿全劇的重點正是「信心」。訴訟結果將會如何?克朗鎮又是否終會下雨,使枯木逢春,大地復甦?

The town of Clarion, South Dakota is in the midst of a farm killing drought when Tess and Monica arrive to help them with their growing crisis of faith. Justinian Jones, a struggling farmer, enters Cotton's barber shop where a heated debate quickly develops between he, Cotton, Judge Dawes and Risa, the town mayor, as to whether the town should sell out to a huge agricultural company. Having arrived to serve as auctioneer of the towns assets, Andrew sits quietly in the barber chair as Risa advocates selling to the conglomerate before the drought kills the town. Opposed to her is Justinian who is determined to stay on his farm even if he has to sell his horse and "pull the darned plow" himself. Continuing his tirade, Justinian decides to sue God. The Judge outlines how he should serve notice to God through the newspaper and a hearing is set. Outside, Justinian's daughter, Leela tells her boyfriend Gordon of her plans to leave town in search of more opportunity while he tries to convince her of the virtues of the small town they have grown up in. Later, all the townspeople gather in the court room, fully expecting a rapid dismissal of the case. Tess arrives to act as council for God and a jury trial is granted. As the trial begins, Jones begins by saying that droughts are considered "acts of God" and as such, He should be held responsible for the "intentional infliction of emotional stress" upon the people of Clarion. One by one, Tess calls the townspeople as witnesses in an attempt to show them how God has blessed them. When Tess calls Monica, the angel as an expert witness, Justinian corners her on the stand and temporarily stuns God's defense team by asking for an end to the drought. After a short recess and a prayer from Monica. She then returns to God with his answer to Justinian's request. The answer is "no." Justinian then realizes how blessed he is and Risa and the others rally together at a town picnic. As Justinian leads all in a prayer of thanks, their faith is rewarded as rain begins to pour out of the clear blue sky.
