Synopsis: A neglected young boy is taken to a revival meeting by his babysitter. The evangelist baptizes him in the river and tells him that he has a father in heaven and that he "counts." On his return home, his family still ignores him despite him telling them that he counts. The next day he returns to the river trying to re-experience the previous day's events, and drowns.
