In a stunning example of a soap opera come to life, a video has surfaced from Brazil that depicts the hilarious struggle of a man attempting to escape a cheating woman’s bedroom after her husband has come home.
And it’s out a third story window.
High drama: An hysterical Brazilian video captures high wire drama of a married woman's paramour escaping shirtless out the window as her jilted husband arrives
As the drama begins, a husband and wife are seen arguing on the third-floor patio of an urban apartment building.

Adulterer with acumen: Like something out of Benny Hill, the shirtless man ties together a rope of clothes and out he goes |
Their fight is juicy enough as is, but just off to the side a man appears in the couple's window.
Shirtless and angry, the man may be an adulterer but he's awfully quick-thinking.
He tosses out the window an escape rope he's managed to fashion from knotted t-shirts and bravely begins to climb down.
On a window sill below, he stops. The cackling crowd mocks both him and the woman’s husband.
‘Cornudo,’ the growing audience yells at the husband, a Portuguese word for a man being cheated on.
They chant ‘JUMP!’ as emergency workers arrive to assist the struggling man. And he does just that.
Meanwhile, a crowd gathers below, laughing at the men and taunting them. 'Cornudo!' they yelled at the jilted husdand |
A soft mat is placed below the shirtless man and the crowd cheers as leaps and bounces down to the street.
JUMP! The crowd dares him to leap and he does. Luckily, firemen have set up a cushion on the street |
As if a Hollywood celebrity had just fallen from the sky, the passersby hoot and ogle and snap photos.
Safe: Shirtless and angry, the man lands on the cushion as the crowd cackles at his silly situation |
The end: The man shakes his fist at the couple he left behind and then admonishes the highly entertained crowd before stomping, barefooted, out of view |
Barefoot and scowling, the shirtless man gives the woman and her husband a good shake of the fist, then shakes it at the crowd for good measure and marches out of view.
