Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Animas Trujano is a colorful but irresponsible Indian in a small Mexican village. He hopes above all things someday to be chosen mayordomio of his village, a place of great honor usually conferred upon the wealthiest and most respected citizens. Animas has a loyal wife, but cheats on her and gambles away every cent they raise. Chances arise for Animas to turn over a new leaf and even hope realistically for the honor of mayordomio. But will Animas behave responsibly enough to take advantage of these opportunities?

| Trivia | Actor and director Narciso Busquets (1931-1988) dubbed the voice of Toshirô Mifune. Lips sync was so perfect that, since the movie was played for the first time, many people think it's the voice of Mifune. Mifune had to learn all his lines phonetically. See more » |
