"Fábrica de Asesinos" (Factory of Assassins)
by W. Sampas
This Spanish-language serial, published by Ediciones Toray in 1960, opens with a domestic confrontation between Leo and his wife Gilda, who are preparing for their brother-in-law Sam's funeral in Los Angeles. Their dialogue reveals deep resentment over their late father's eccentric inheritance scheme: he distributed his estate based on daily "grades" recorded in notebooks, rewarding his son Raph lavishly while giving Leo substantially less. Leo resents his brother's wealth and Gilda envies Raph's sophisticated wife Elsie.
After the funeral, Leo and Gilda attend the reading of Sam's will at Raph's mansion. The notary reveals Sam has left 1.3 million credits to Raph and only 200,000 to Leo—continuing the pattern of favoritism. The will's terms specify Leo receives the remainder. Leo sits stunned in his brother's imposing study, consumed by envy and hatred toward his privileged sibling, as the narrative cuts off mid-sentence.
