Original: O Cangaceiro do Futuro
After being hit in the head, a man wakes up in 1927 to discover that he’s the spitting image of a famous bandit — and decides to make the most of it.
After being hit in the head, Virguley wakes up in the 1920s — and curiously bears a striking resemblance to Lampião, the famous bandit leader.
While posing as Lampião, Virguley meets Mariá, a beautiful young seamstress who dreams of joining his gang in order to avenge her village.
Virguley and Mariá decide to start their own troupe of bandits… much to the Colonel’s irritation. Meanwhile, the real Lampião terrifies nearby towns.
After taking over the village’s small market with their new gang, Virguley and Mariá form a delivery service — and a chaotic one at that.
The Colonel uncovers the truth about Virguley and plots his revenge. Mariá hunts for Lampião's stash of gold.
After falling prey to the Colonel’s scheme, Virguley is captured and arrested. Mariá searches for a way out of an arranged marriage with Rufino.
Virguley and Mariá reunite with their gang. Meanwhile, the real Lampião heads towards the village — and he’s not happy about his impostor…Virguley and Mariá reunite with their gang. Meanwhile, the real Lampião heads towards the village — and he’s not happy about his impostor…
