Synopsis

Party-loving Luis and his friend Antonio arrive in San Miguel to visit Luis’ grandmother, Doña Luisa, and his sister, Esther. They don’t know that Rosita, Doña Luisa’s goddaughter, was on the same train. When Luis and Antonio arrive, grandmother takes her cane to them, for she has learned that they have caused trouble in the town bars. With her days coming to an end, grandmother makes Luis swear that he will forsake his partying ways until he marries off his sister Esther, who is very shy. Doña Luisa dies and Luis and Antonio look for suitors for Esther in a good-natured butcher and a naïve adolescent. Neither is acceptable to Esther, who has fallen in love with an uncaring Antonio.
