Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

This routine Mexican Western spoof by Miguel M. Delgado stars Luis Aguilar and Lalo ("Piporro") Gonzales as a pair of old codgers at odds with each other. The two men are like night and day, one tends toward the decent, good side of life and the other just tends to disagree with him. Their two sons (also played by Aguilar and Gonzales) are similarly different from each other, but are oddly enough paired with the wrong father. The "good" dad has the "bad" son, and vice-versa. After several shoot-outs, romantic liaisons, and other classic Western scenes, the dueling quartet come to realize that the sons were switched at birth.
