Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Spanish soldier Juan Ricardo is assigned to obtain evidence against Pedro the Fox, an old smuggler. His acquaintance with Pedro's wife Guerita ripens into mutual love. When Guerita and Juan are about to depart, her elderly husband approaches under the pretense of giving her a farewell kiss, but instead stabs and kills her.

The intercession of Dolores, the daughter of the Commandante who is in love with Juan, brings about his release.
