A struggling Hebrew man in A.D. 33 Jerusalem, Clarence, and friend Elijah lose a chariot race with Mary Magdalene due to difficulties such as gypsies shooting darts at them, and almost running over a dirt-encrusted beggar, Benjamin. Clarence owes money to loan shark Jedediah the Terrible, but also loves Jedediah's sister Varinia. Roman soldiers racially profile Clarence and Elijah for a theft they didn't commit. Conceiving a plan to capitalize on the rise of Jesus Christ, Clarence becomes a fake messiah, using his wit and cunning to free himself of debt and start a life of glory.
