Rosiña, a younger and poor woman with dreams of buying a house, is unaware of Antonciño's activities. Matters become complicated as Antonio's poverty is discovered, along with Manucho's pretending to be poor. Rosiña remembers her friend Antonciño and becomes his lover again. Manucho throws a great party in the city for two days, causing trouble for the mayor (Salvador Videgain).
