Movie Description In this cautionary, rags to riches tale, poor Macario wants only something good to eat on the Day of the Dead. He gets his wish when his wife makes him a turkey. However, three spirits, the Devil, Death, and God, appear to him with a test. Each asks him to share the turkey, and Macario refuses all but Death. In exchange, Death gives Macario a magical bottle of water that can heal any illness. Soon, Macario becomes wealthy beyond his wildest dreams -- but at the price of getting the Inquisition involved in his affairs!
