The secret of its success? An obscenely funny script, spectacular choreography and a Grammy-award winning musical score.

Plot
Elder Cunningham and Elder Price are two mismatched Mormon missionaries sent from Salt Lake City, Utah, to a remote hamlet in Uganda, to preach and convert the natives to Mormonism. Their journey is cut short when they discover the subhuman conditions the villagers are living in. This is because of murderous military overlord, who wreaks havoc among the locals and destroys the missionaries’ aspirations to spread their religious beliefs. Yet despite being faced with a difficult situation, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham are determined to help the villagers as part of their mission...
