During the Mexican Revolution, landowner Mendoza skillfully courts both the ruling regime and the rebel movement. He backs General Huerta to please the government and pretends to support Emiliano Zapata to flatter the insurgents, swapping portraits and throwing lavish parties depending on his guests’ loyalties.
