Brian nasce contemporaneamente al Messia, in una capanna vicina e viene visitato per sbaglio dai Re Magi. L'equivoco continuerà nella vita adulta, tra confuse manovre di terroristi antiromani rivali tra loro, fino a quando i suoi compagni del Fronte popolare giudaico lo consegano a Pilato per farne un eroico martire: finirà crocefisso, ancora una volta per un equivoco.
