Trial by Fire

A smart con man tricks a tribe into believing he's their fire god's chosen savior and gets them to give him their precious jeweled crown. But things go wrong when the real fire god shows up!

A clever deceiver manages to convince a tribal group that he is the appointed messiah from their deity of fire and dupes them into entrusting him with a fabulous jewelled crown. But trouble starts brewing when the fire god himself appears!

After reading how the natives of an Indian island are expecting a white man to come and walk across a bed of burning coals, thus becoming their high priest, con man Brad Stuart talks his scientist friend, Tom Hendricks, into inventing a potion to protect his bare feet from intense heat. Stuart goes to the island, certain that after he fire-walks the natives will not only make him their high priest, but will also present him with their solid gold, richly jeweled, fire-god idol.
