Plot

In the realm of comedy, Zero Mostel's uproarious portrayal of Senor Carlos de Refugio, a wealthy but unscrupulous landowner, stands as a beacon of comic brilliance. Drowning in his unbridled lust for the stunning Alicia (Priscilla Garcia), Refugio's moral compass skews, leading him to falsely accuse her betrothed, Luis (A. Martinez), of pilfering one of his prized ducks. His stubbornness prevents him from pardoning Luis unless Alicia agrees to his marriage proposal. As a result, Refugio is shunned, believing he is fated to roam aimlessly as a friendless, homeless soul. However, a sudden epiphany strikes Senor Refugio, leading him to absolve Luis and rectify the chaos he's instigated. Luis and Alicia unite in matrimony in a grand ceremonial display, concluding with an unexpected, enlightening twist. Bursting with humor and life lessons, 'Once Upon a Scoundrel' is a tale that stirs laughter while subtly unveiling the power of redemption and the human capacity for change.
