Pompeyo Pimpollo and Rodolfo Bambolino, two lino-type artists from El Heraldo de Madrid, want to be movie stars, so they take a test conducted by the American filmmaker E. S. Carawa. When rejected, they decide to attract attention by planning a false murder that is complicated to the point that Rodolfo is sentenced to death.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy.

Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
