In a Venezuelan town, a woman named Miriam suffering from leukemia dies while giving birth. Her husband Dr. Mirabal dies in an accident, and the young girl is left in the care of her maternal grandfather, Mendoza. But his wife and step-mother of the deceased Miriam want the Mendoza family fortune to remain with the twin sons, Juan Carlos and Rolando, born from Mendoza's first marriage. The evil step-mother then gives the child to a gypsy woman who is part of a circus that is passing through town. Twenty years later, the girl Gisela has become a beautiful woman, and returns to the town of her birth with the circus. Mendoza and his sister Yolanda see her and realise that the gypsy girl has the same looks as his late daughter Miriam, and he realises that she is his long-lost granddaughter. Rolando who has grown ambitious as his mother, learns that Gisela is the heir to the Mendoza fortune, and plans on marrying her in order to possess her fortune. During their wedding night, Gisela discovers that Rolando doesn't love her. Heartbroken, Gisela leaves to return to the circus without knowing that Rolando was assassinated, and she is accused of the crime.
