| Summary |
Un grupo de mujeres de Comala pretende convencer a Lucas Lucatero un vendedor de baratijas de que las acompañe a pedir la canonización de Anacleto Morones; pero el vendedor les cuenta la verdadera historia de Anacleto lo conoció cuando platicaba las películas durante las proyecciones junto con Leona, una cantante de corridos. Ambos aprovechaban su facilidad de palabra para engañar a la gente y hacerla creer en milagros, por lo que Anacleto se convirtió en el Santo Niño Anacleto. Morones, desde su posición de hacedor de milagros, empezó a abusar de toda mujer que atendía, incluso de la esposa del gobernador, quien lo mandó a la cárcel. Cuando el Santo Niño Anacleto sale de la cárcel quiere obtener dinero de Lucas, pero éste lo mata y Leona huye desnuda al conocer el crimen. A group of women from Comala try to convince Lucas Lucatero, a trinket vendor, to accompany them to request the canonization of Anacleto Morones; but the vendor tells them the true story of Anacleto, who met him when he was talking about the movies during the screenings with Leona, a corrido singer. Both of them took advantage of her ease with words to deceive people and make them believe in miracles, for which Anacleto became the Santo Niño Anacleto. Morones, from his position as a miracle worker, began to abuse every woman he cared for, including the governor's wife, who sent him to jail. When Santo Niño Anacleto is released from prison, he wants to get money from Lucas, but Lucas kills him and Leona flees naked when she learns of the crime |
