It stars Carlos Orellana and Sara Garca and is Pedro Infante's first film, appearing as an extra. Infante was also asked to overdub the singing for the jota, in place of Carlos Lpez Moctezuma (who plays Alfredo).

Three young men 'baturros' (Aragonese peasants), Santiago, Isidro and El Perico, embark on a journey to Mexico to find better opportunities for themselves.

El Perico's wife dies diving birth to their daughter, La Pilar which causes him to decide at the last minute to go with them to Mexico. After they arrive in Mexico, El Perico becomes ill, and just before dying he makes Santiago promise to be a father to La Pilar.
