A man allegedly cuckolded by
Francisco d'Anconia. His wife asserts, and
Francisco does not deny, that she and
Francisco had an affair over New Years at his villa in the
Andes. He is shot by his wife, but survives, and when he sues for divorce she threatens to spill the details of his sordid private life. Just as the scandal is reaching a crescendo in the tabloids,
Francisco arrives in town to "witness the farce."
