Butter Man: The Slickest Mexican Thief
TV Series · ★ 8.0
In Mexico, 1982, Emiliano Escamilla, a notorious scam artist and impersonator, plans to avenge his mother, who was wrongfully imprisoned for the crimes of his father, "El Mantequilla," the most famous and pursued swindler of the 1950s. Elena Robles, the first female detective in her division, and Pablo Garduño, a young and ambitious reporter, set out to unravel his scams and find out who is the new "Mantequilla" and how to stop him. However, Emiliano, Elena, and Pablo will learn that things are not always what they seem, and each will learn that the world they are operating in is as capable of corrupting them as it is of destroying them. Mixing dark comedy, action, and drama, "Butter Man: The Slickest Mexican Thief" is a classic story of scams and impossible plans, where nothing is as it seems.
