In a small town, everyday life is shaken by the arrival of a cunning criminal who bears an uncanny resemblance to a respected and timid local official. This official, an office worker known as "The Clock," leads a monotonous and unassuming life, but is loved and respected by his neighbors. However, when a outlaw appears who shares his appearance, rumors begin to swirl and confusion grips the community.
As the townspeople try to uncover who the true villain is, "The Clock" finds himself caught up in a series of hilarious situations and misunderstandings. On one hand, he feels flattered by the unexpected attention he receives, but his peaceful life turns into chaos as he is pursued by the police, who are convinced that he is the criminal. Tensions rise when "The Clock" falls in love with his neighbor, who despises the outlaw, unknowingly talking about him. Amidst antics, romantic entanglements, and a conclusion that promises plenty of surprises, the characters confront their own notions of identity and justice.
With a clever use of slapstick and farcical humor, the film becomes a funny reflection on life in a small town, the dangers of gossip, and the difficulty of being oneself in a world full of expectations. As the confusions unfold, the true value of love and friendship is put to the test.
