What happens

El patrullero 777 (in English: "The Patrolman 777") is a 1978 Mexican comedy film directed by Miguel M. Delgado and starring Mario Moreno «Cantinflas», Ana Bertha Lepe and Valeria Pani. This film concludes the loose trilogy around the character of Agente 777, who first appeared in The Unknown Policeman (1941) and reappeared in The Atomic Fireman (1952), although the only connection between this three films is that Cantinflas's character is a policeman who uses the callsign 777. It also features the last appearance of Ana Bertha Lepe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
