A tubby priest-in-training feels bad for the kids in his orphanage because he can’t afford to cook them any decent meals with fresh ingredients. In order to score himself some cabbage in order to buy himself some…well, cabbage and other food items, the man secretly dresses up like a Mexican wrestler (aka Luchadore) and enters nightly fight exhibitions, alongside his trusty skinny side-kick. Oh, he also falls for a cutie-patootie nun recently transferred to his parish. Pretty goofy storyline, right? So’s the film!!
