Both written and directed by Roberto Gómez Bolaños, the episode originally aired on Televisa's Canal 2 on January 29, 1979.

Chilindrina explains that they went to watch El Chanfle in the movies, invited by Doña Florinda, who tells that her son Quico went to live with his rich godmother to receive a better education.

Upon arriving at the cinema, several seat exchanges in the dark begin between Chilindrina, Chavo, Don Ramón and Profesor Jirafales, annoying the other moviegoers.

After Carlos Villagrán left the series to star a TV show of his own, Chespirito decided that the best motive to write Quico off would be to say that he moved away.

Or probably both actors had a healthy farewell and no grudges towards one another as Villagrán had been invited to star in five shows in Venezuela, something that later was followed by the departure of Ramón Valdés from the cast of El Chavo del Ocho as well.
