The hand is then considered to be the "hand of the Virgin." Despite the church's fallen priest (played by David Schwimmer) objecting, the ambitious mayor of the town (Cheech Marin) creates an international three-ring circus of miracle-seekers, TV crews and born-again local prostitutes all interested in the hand.

This movie was Marshall and Elizondo's first common project. The movie is a comedy with a lot of "gallows humor" and intends to parody the "hospital-soap-operas".
