About
The farmer's three children on a remote Lancashire farm mistake an injured fugitive hiding in their barn for Jesus Christ.
The farmer's three children on a remote Lancashire farm find a bearded fugitive hiding in their barn. The eldest, Kathy Bostock (Hayley Mills), accidentally discovers the injured man, Arthur Blakey (Alan Bates). Along with the Sunday School stories the children know, his shocked exclamation of the name Jesus Christ makes them believe he is Jesus Christ. Other local children hear of the discovery and come to the barn with gifts. Their father is played by Bernard Lee, as Mr Bostock.
