Years later, Laurita has grown into a young woman who is being exploited by her foster mother Doña Coromoto by being sent out to look for scraps to sell and also newspapers. In the slum where they live, Laurita has been nicknamed "rag doll" by the neighbors because of her beauty and noble hears. One day, Laurita comes face to face with Alejandro Montesinos, the son of the man who ruined her father's life. Despite their social differences, they fall in love with each other. Once again, the Montesinos family will bring suffering to Laurita. But she will be reunited with her father and come back to get revenge on those who wronged her in the past.
