Ted is hosting Father Hernandez from Cuba at the Craggy Island parochial house. Father Hernandez, seeing Mrs Doyle, confesses he sometimes finds the life of celibacy difficult, and Ted mentions Bishop Brennan, who is rumoured to have a son who lives in America.

Bishop Brennan arrives the next day and orders Ted and Dougal to protest the playing of The Passion of Saint Tibulus at the Craggy Island cinema. The film, considered blasphemous and has been condemned by the Pope and banned from playing nearly anywhere else, is only being shown on Craggy Island due to an odd loophole. Brennan wants Ted and Dougal to show that the Catholic Church has made a stand on it, and considers this matter of utmost importance as he had to be recalled from his holiday in California to deal with it.

Ted and Dougal go to the cinema to find only a couple people there. They make a gentlemen's agreement with Michael, the cinema manager, to watch the film once and then peaceful protest it so that Michael can throw them out, making it look like a fuss. They return to the parochial house for the night, and discuss the film, agreeing it was difficult to understand and sexually explicit. The next morning, Brennan returns and forces them to start early on their protest, despite the fact the cinema is not yet open. They half-heartedly stand around the cinema, waving placards that say "Down with this sort of thing" and "Careful now". Ted has Dougal buy them handcuffs to chain themselves to the railings outside the cinema, hoping that will increase attention. However, they find their protests have the opposite effect, as people are drawn in to see the film.

Meanwhile, Jack discovers Brennan's travel bag, which, besides a bottle of alcohol, includes a VHS camcorder containing a video cassette labelled "Holiday '95 California".
