EL VERDUGO

José Luis, empleado en una funeraria, aspira a marcharse a Alemania y hacerse un buen macánico. A causa de su trabajo, un día conoce a Carmen, hija de Amadeo, un viejo verdugo a punto de jubilarse, y entre los dos jóvenes se inicia un idilio que acacba en boda. Por su calidad de verdugo se le concede a Amadeo un piso moderno que colma las ilusiones de la pareja y las esperanzas de una vejez tranquila para el abuelo. Pero para conservar la vivienda, José Luis tendrá que heredar el cargo de verdugo.
