Synopsis
When old Antn died, he left his daughter, Mariona, and her goddaughter, gueda, picked up in a shipwreck, under the care of Uncle Roque. This, insidiously, takes over all the assets of the deceased, turns gueda into the Cinderella of the house and wants to force Mariona to marry her son Pablo de Ella. But Mariona maintains a secret relationship with Toms Pedro, a fisherman who works for her uncle. So that no one suspects her, she hatches a stratagem to pretend that Toms Pedro is in love with gueda. Poor Cinderella believes it and, with her kindness and her natural charm, she really captivates Toms Pedro. When Mariona found out about it, she caused Pablo's death and received her punishment at the hands of Uncle Roque.
