Many people that had seen this movie, don't realize that Cantiflas was making a hard critic to the Catholic Church. In this movie he acts as a priest and has to solve many problems, like create a school for the town, and encounter some villain, and also plays dices with a store manager (glambling is forbid to priest), and in some part of the movie he reject naming a child "Napomuceno" that is the name of a Saint, but to him the name is so ugly that decide not to do it. You have to see the master peace, form the point of view that Mexico was at the time under control of Catolic church and parties and between laugh makes some specifics critics.
