In a little town around Tehuantepec, in Oaxaca, México, live a beautiful and cheerful girl named Lupe (Lupe Vélez), in love with a stranger marine named Juancho (Arturo de Córdova). The man should go to Veracruz and promises Lupe return to marry. After several months, Lupe lost hope of seeing him again and accepts the offer of other man to marry.
