    A defrocked New England minister attends a San Francisco convention learning how to sell life insurance to seminarians. He accidentally encounters an old friend from seminary days who has been reduced to selling trinkets. On three consecutive days, the two have discussions in which they progressively reveal their most personal secrets to one another.
