Synopsis

Alejo Franchinelli is a widowed violinist whose mother-in-law, Doña Encarna, continually threatens him by sending him telegrams every month. Upon remarrying, his new mother-in-law makes his life miserable. One day the spirit of Doña Encarna appears to him, who assures him that she has died and, although she still has a dislike for him, she now wants to help him to get him to forgive her. Alejo confirms the death of his first mother-in-law and suddenly everything starts to go well for him, until he starts getting into trouble and asks Doña Encarna not to help him any more.
