Description: Moses "Moze" Pray is a con man and traveling Bible salesman who roams the Midwestern United States in his 1931 Ford Model A roadster during the Great Depression of the 1930s, flimflamming people with his gold-embossed Bibles. Tagging along with him is Adelaide "Addie" Loggins, a precocious 11-year-old girl who is convinced that Moze is her father, although he denies it, and calls herself "Addie Pray." Usually only a step ahead of the law, they always are working one fast-buck scheme or another, although they never have much money.
