Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crime of the Age is a 32-minute-long Christian mystery drama from 1988 by Dave and Rich Christiano, and one of their earliest attempts at filmmaking.In the dark of night, an office at a Christian childrens' camp is broken into and a crime is committed. A police detective is called to the scene to find the culprit. The suspects: the camp director's six employees. The only clue: a carrot left on the floor. And the crime?Someone stole a book.No, seriously. That's it.The stolen book was about being a Christian (not an actual Bible, mind you) and this leads the detective to suspect that the thief may not be one. What follows is six copy-pasted conversations where the detective questions each of the suspects:The detective greets the suspects and banters a bit with them.The detective gets a tip about another suspect, who are supposedly suspicious for some minor reason.The detective finds out that the suspect he's questioning has some character flaw that he thinks makes them less of a Christian.The following line from the detective:The detective asks the suspect if they like carrots, and they say they do.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The detective then joins the camp employees for a dinner where carrots are served. The six people he questioned all take a carrot, but put it back to avoid incriminating themselves. However, the camp director takes one. Later, the director gets the detective another copy of the stolen book. When he reads it, he figures out who the book thief is. | |

Batman Gambit: The detective accuses the camp director of stealing the book, incorrectly quoting Bible verses in order to get the real thief to correct him and reveal that they've read the book. | |

Amazing Freaking Grace: When we first meet the cook, he's heard singing "Amazing Grace" (during which the detective joins in during the 2nd half of the verse), though the cook noticeably substitutes the word "cook" for the word "wretch"; something that becomes significant with his eventual slip-up that the cook took the book, and by extension was not truly a Christian. | |
