Synopsis

In the Spanish town of Magdalena live María and her sweetheart, Pancho, son of the governor. The town is captured by brigands led by Ramírez, the governor is deposed, and Don Domingo Maticas is appointed in his place. Ramón, son of the new governor, becomes infatuated with María. She repulses him, but he is encouraged by her mother. The jealousy of the two young rivals results in a duel in which Ramón is seriously wounded. María promises to marry Ramón on the condition that Pancho's life is spared, but Ramón breaks his promise and has Pancho arrested. A counter revolution occurs, and Pancho escapes and seeks out Ramón; he disarms him in a duel but spares his life. Touched by his rival's generosity, Ramón helps Pancho and María escape to safety and is himself killed.
