The Ruling Class plot

When an earl is killed in a rather unorthodox way, his position has to be taken over by his son Jack. The family is not very happy about this, as Jack has been in a psychiatric institution for years and he has the idea that he is the second Jesus Christ. Yet Jack gets the position, but his heavily Christian slant does not seem to work in a 'normal' society where peace and love are seen as a kind of weakness.
