El compadre Mendoza

In the midst of the Mexican Revolution, the landowner Mendoza manages to get along with both the government and the revolutionary group. For the former, he is a supporter of Huerta. For the latter, he is a Zapata supporter.

However, time goes by and the situation becomes untenable. For whom will he take sides?
