The Prodigal

Lana Turner stars as the sexy, exotic pagan princess who tries to seduce a wayward Israelite in the Biblical tale of The Prodigal. As a young man, Micah (Edmund Purdom) takes his share of his family's wealth and leaves home for the decadent city. He follows the alluring Samarra (Turner) to Damascus, where he soon loses his fortune and is sold into slavery. Forced to do backbreaking labor and live locked in a dungeon, Micah could earn his freedom by renouncing his God and worshiping his owner's pagan idols--the one thing he refuses to do. But Micah's God does not forsake him, and his faith is rewarded by his freedom and return home.
