Pepe Isbert is the naive lay-brother who comes to Madrid to collect alms for the nuns that manage an orphanage. On the train he meets Tony Leblanc, a small time con-man, and his troubles begin, although it takes him a while to realise. The two are wonderfully matched, and both Alfredo Mayo and Fernando Rey agreed to participate in this Antonio Nieves Conde minor film. A slice of Spain in 1960.
