The Miracle Man (1932 film)

The Miracle Man is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by Norman Z. McLeod,[2] starring Sylvia Sidney and Chester Morris, and featuring Boris Karloff.

Using the name John Madison, Doc hides out in Meadville, California, where he meets the Patriarch, a faith healer.

Doc stages a mock miracle in which Frog is "transformed" from a crippled state to perfect health.

The miracles cause a great fervor, and Doc collects money in Helen's name from scores of believers, ostensibly to build a chapel.

Later, the Patriarch is nearing death, and Helen, Frog and Harry refuse to support Doc's extortion efforts.
