Plot

Just like today's celebrities Aimee was married 3 times and followed by the press. But what made her a sensation was her disappearance after a day at the beach. Had Aimee been kidnapped or had she pulled off a scam?

A film combining both of Richard Rossi's prior films on Aimee Semple McPherson, the dramatic feature "Sister Aimee," and the Oscar-considered documentary "Saving Sister Aimee." Aimee Semple McPherson was the most famous female evangelist in the world when she mysteriously vanished at Venice Beach in 1927. Rossi paints a portrait of a lovelorn woman, not a deified woman. Though she was anointed to heal the sick and flow in the gifts of the Spirit, she still lived in skin that longed to be touched. "I'm not like other women, but I still am a woman," Aimee says. The film begins with the disappearance then flashes back through Aimee's life. Her conversion to Christ as a teenage farm girl, her three marriages, her pioneering Angelus Temple, a church of Hollywood proportions near Sunset Boulevard. Along with acting performances of Mimi Michaels as Aimee, Richard Rossi as the Elmer Gantryish David Hutton, Rance Howard as Aimee's father, Kiera Chaplin as the beautiful temptress, Etienne Eckert as Emma, Teres Byne as the dragon lady mother, Charles Hoyes, Michael Minor, and Chad Nadolski as Aimee's men, and other stellar performances, the film has three primary witnesses to the actual events, including Aimee's daughter Roberta Salter.
