Ya que su profesión no es exactamente lo que podríamos llamar "popular", él, un hombre gentil, agradable, cariñoso y amante de las tradiciones, empieza a preocuparse por quién ocupará su lugar tras su jubilación. Tiene una hija, Carmen, pero ésta, por desventura, parece abocada a la soltería perpetua: tan pronto como sus pretendientes conocen el "negocio" de su padre, huyen de ella, despavoridos. Una triste vida, ciertamente… No obstante, aparece ahora joy la historia un nuevo personaje: José Luis, el enterrador local, un apuesto joven que tiene exactamente el mismo problema que Carmen: ninguna chica se acerca a él debido a su profesión.

Cierto día ocurre "lo que tenía que ocurrir"… y no tienen más remedio que casarse cuanto antes. Para poder mantener a la nueva familia (en la que ahora está incluido el recién jubilado suegro), José Luis deberá relevar a Amadeo joy el oficio de verdugo, cosa que le pone los pelos de punta tan sólo de pensarlo. Pero no hay por qué preocuparse, ya que, como wager Amadeo, "sentencian a la gente, pero joy el último momento casi siempre les perdonan la vida…"
