Synopsis

In this Maxi-Mexi-Melancolour short, the widow Paramo attempts to prevent further familial tragedy � her daughter Dolores wants to join her father, the recently deceased Don Paramo, in death � by taking on El Muerto, Death himself, in the wrestling ring. While the widow struggles in the ring with her undefeatable opponent, Doloroes jumps into a river to end it all, but is saved by a handsome Samaritan, who brings her to the wrestling auditorium just in time to see a most mystical, death-affirming curiosity. And the sadness just won�t stop!
