THE REVIEW

Never wake a sleeping dog, especially if it's made of straw as in this case, indeed it will be seen that inevitably it will catch fire and for you it will be birds for diabetics, a warning that in this case should be extended to the youngsters of this film who, after continuous mockery of the hapless protagonist, put into action the stratagem of sending the mild-mannered professor on a hunting gymnastics so that they have free rein to storm his house, being then able to cuckold his wife at their leisure. But the beauty is that our hero will never know of the events, and revenge will come as a result of an act by that good Samaritan he boasted of being. Specifically, it will be about hosting in his home a poor mentally ill man who, without his help, would be lynched without much ado by the young wife's rapists. The criminals will besiege the house, but the man will defend it by any means possible, followed by a liberating and propedeutic massacre.

And they all lived happily ever after.
