When in Rome

Father John X. Halligan (Johnson) is a Catholic Priest visiting Rome, Italy for the 1950 Holy Year. Along the way, a con man named Joe Brewster (Douglas) steals Halligan's clothing and his identity in the hopes of evading arrest. Halligan helps Brewster evade arrest long enough to complete his pilgrimage, while doing so they come across a monastery where the men never talk to anyone except to a superior. After visiting the monastery, Halligan and Brewster become separated.
