Armed with a copy of the Mexican Constitution, a revolver, and absolute authority, Vargas transforms from an innocent bureaucrat into a ruthless, corrupt tyrant who rewrites laws on a whim to justify extortion, theft, and murder.
At first, Vargas is idealistic and tries to bring progress and justice to the town. However, he soon discovers that the system is designed to corrupt anyone who enters it. After being denied funding for public works, he turns to extortion, bribery, and violence. He learns that the true "law" of the land—Herod's Law—is that "it is better to be the one who eats, than the one who is eaten." By the end of the film, Vargas has become a ruthless dictator, willing to murder and steal to stay in power. He ends up not as a disgraced mayor, but as a federal deputy, having successfully navigated the corrupt system he once despised. 2926la ley de herodes 1999 720p webdl lat
