In a small town in the Old West, the mayor can't keep his people
from running away or dying at the hands of the local brute. And
just when things can't get any worse, an omen predicts that a demon
ghost might soon return to possess one of the town's few remaining
people, and then to ravage the rest. Which tyrant will be more
awful, the demon or the brute? And assuming the mayor can't save
the day - for it seems he can't do much - will Catalina, the town
vagrant, be the one who steps up? Tumacho considers hope in the
face of evil, the community struggle to act, and demon cuisine, all
in a deadpan ode to comedies of yore.

comedy, Paul's friends' awkward (and hilarious) attempts to console
him prove that some comforts only come on four legs.
