Simon the Zealot and Jude Thaddeus are sent by Jesus Christ to take his message of love, hope, and salvation to the peoples of the east. They carry with them the Holy Lance, the spear that pierced the side of Christ upon the cross, which is also known as the Spear of Destiny. Simon and Jude are brought before the Assyrian King Baladach, who is being controlled by two practitioners of the dark arts. The Apostles overcome these two magicians, who are named Arphaxat and Zaroas, and liberate the king from their power. Although banished from the throne, the magicians still work their mischief. This leads to a final confrontation between the Apostles of Christ and the Sorcerers of Satan.
