Several thugs including Victor Peñaranda, are found in the house of a man named Alberto Cardona known as "El Mellizo" (The Twin). Peñaranda and another thug, known as Zabala, torture Twin until accidentally killing him in order to recover the money stolen from "El Orejon" (Big Ears), head of the above-mentioned thugs and leader of the underworld of Cali. Don Pablo, intermediary of "El Orejón" and the thugs, orders a search for money around the house and Peñaranda which he finds in a black bag in a pot. Peñaranda decides to steal the money, claiming to Don Pablo and the other thugs that he did not find any such money inside the house. For its part, "El Orejón" attends the funeral of his godson William Medina, murdered in Buenaventura near Cali.
Then "El Orejón", being a devotee of witchcraft, has the witch Iris put a curse on the murderer of Medina as a way in which he would suffer the most. Soon "El Orejón" meets Don Pablo demanding the money from "The Twins" but Don Pablo notified that such money was never found at home. To complete such a mission "The Orejón" calls Silvio Sierra to help Don Pablo who reculutanly accepts.
Don Pablo hires Eusebio Benitez and Victor Peñaranda to find the stolen money. Peñaranda left for Cali and stays in a small downtown hotel where are staying Benitez who also had sex with a beautiful girl. Between the two are awaiting instructions for the operation which did not have many details. Peñaranda unexpectedly answers the call from a man demanding to know the name of the hotel where they are housed and about a woman named Adela, but Peñaranda denies knowing anything. Then they both get a call from Sierra who waits in the lobby of the hotel. Benitez and Peñaranda go downstairs to the lobby where they see Sierra cracking jokes among themselves about a black thug like Benitez. All three are directed to the funeral of the first "Twin" waiting to find the other "twin" and collect the money from "El Orejón" while Benitez is spitting the grave of William Medina, because Benitez had killed before. After watching the funeral, Don Pablo asks the three results of the operation, especially under the suspicion of Peñaranda had the money, Don Pablo would not retaliate and give the money to his employer at the same time to invent something his henchmen not suffer the consequences. Peñaranda denies had money and tries to call his wife secretly to give the stolen money as this and their daughter would live in America.
