Christobal Barela suspects his wife Antonia Tereza of having an affair with another man, and also, that her Brother, Manuel Gutierres is aiding her in this matter. One night Christobal descends upon Manuel's house banging on the Door and demanding entrance. When Manuel comes to the Door Christobal insists that Antonia Tereza is inside, in bed with another man and he (Christobal) attacks Manuel with a lance, which Manuel evades. There is a big uproar in which several people rush to the scene, including the Alcalde mayor and Christobal and his Brother Jose Mariano are arrested. Pacheco takes depositions in the case, and sends them to the governor. (Lloyd Kendall) (1980)
