A group of bandits hidden in the Serranía de Ronda are preparing to execute "El Sordo", the veteran of the group and a living legend among them. The group of 7 bandits suspect that "El Sordo" has committed the worst affront against them: denouncing them to justice. Before being executed, the prisoner requests the sacrament of extreme unction. The bandits do not dare to call a priest, so one of them pretends to be a priest, committing a sacrilegious act. Blindfolded, "El Sordo" confesses his terrible sins before his captors, thinking that he is alone with a priest.
