When a young boy steals billiard balls from a local saloon, a stranger is charged with the crime. The local layabouts find there is no reason to hang out at the bar without being able to shoot pool, and the boy entertains thoughts of forming a gang to steal more billiard balls in hopes of making money. Watch for Luis Buñuel in the role of a local priest in this social drama that alludes to the evils of ignorance and poverty.
