Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A rumor reaches a small town, San Garabato, that a government infiltrator will arrive to check the conditions of the community. Quickly, the municipal president, Don Perpetuo del Rosal, orders the imprisonment of those who might give a bad image. An indigenous man named Calzonzin arrives in town, pursued by two men. He is quickly taken as the infiltrated inspector, and protected by all the local authorities.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
