V starovekej jaskyni v Jeruzaleme je objavená ľudská kostra, ktorej vek sa odhaduje na jedno storočie pred Kristom. Zafarbenie kostí nôh a zápästí naznačuje, že príčinou smrti bol starý rímsky spôsob ukrižovania. Nájdené stopy naznačujú, že to mohol byť sám Ježiš Kristus. Nález prichádza preskúmať katolícky kňaz Matt, ktorý sa špecializuje na Nový zákon. Spolu s jeho objaviteľom, izraelským archeológom Šaronom, budú musieť riskovať svoje životy, aby odhalili pravdu o tomto epochálnom objave. Po odhalení objavu sa totiž začnú diať zvláštne veci...

The story of the Churchills in the court of Queen Anne.

Neighboring widowers plot to romantically unite their son and daughter by pretending to feud and forbidding the two children to associate with each other. Their scheme works and the two youngsters fall head-over-heels in love. To end their "feud" the fathers hire a bandit and his henchmen to fake an abduction and allow the son to rout the assailants. The plan works, but the two love birds discover that requited love is much less exciting than forbidden romance and they break off their relationship. Matt, the son, resolves to see the world and receives a severe buffeting, while Luisa, the daughter, has an unhappy romance with the bandit, who steals her most precious possession, her mother's necklace. Matt returns, sadder but wiser, and the two former lovers reunite.
