A strange faith – During a religious ceremony a group of outlaws enters the Church to steal as much money as possible. Initially the priest refuses, saying it’s not his money at stake, but the money of God. In the end though he is forced to retract his words in front of the congregation in order to save his life… “a living believer is better than a dead one”.
