El profe (aka The Professor) is a 1972 Mexican comedy film directed by Miguel M. Delgado[1] and starring Cantinflas, Marga López and Víctor Alcocer.

Sócrates presence comes as a blessing to the town’s people; he shows that his devotion to his students is much deeper than obvious, as he learns of the bad life conditions of some of them.

He convinces a drunkard man (Ramón Valdés) to stop trying to forget the loss of his lands due to tricks of Don Margarito by drinking and for his wife (Angelines Fernández) to cease mistreating her son.

He also makes an extremely slothful woman change her ways and raises money with his students to fix the school after experiencing the indifference of the town’s men.

When no response comes, Sócrates grows suspicious and sneaks into the mayor's office to find the letter, but instead discovers documents revealing that Don Margarito has been illegally taking the land from the peasants.
