520 The tiny town of San Pedro de los Saguaros needs a new
Mayor, as the populace has assassinated several. As a
reward for his party loyalty, the ruling governor gives
hapless junk dealer Damián Alcázar the post. An honest if
idealistic man, Vargas arrives with his beautiful,
ambitious wife Gloria. Picked for his stupidity, he
quickly discovers that bribes, blackmail, gratuitous fines,
and other abuses of authority are the only way to get
things done, and soon transforms himself from ineffectual
stooge to paragon of corruption--or, a successful
politician. Along the way, he encounters a surly madam, a
moralizing doctor, a mercenary priest, and an
opportunistic gringo. He justifies his actions with a
motto learned from his party leader, who quotes Herod's
Law, which is (if somewhat reworded), "Either you screw
them or you get screwed."
