19th century Italy. A six-year-old Jewish child is kidnapped by papal soldiers. The wealthy parents are informed that the boy has been secretly baptised by a maid. To get him back, they must convert to Catholicism. In the meantime, the boy is brought up in the Vatican, under the authority of Pope Pius IX. There is international outrage. Although the secular power of the Pope has been abolished since the unification of Italy, the Pope is firmly convinced of his own right.
