A young woman from the country has a son from a young man of a rich family. The rich grandfather of the man, owner of the farm, takes the child away to educate him. A few years later the young woman marries a poor farmer. She rejects the child she has with him and only understands she loves him when the rival brothers fight against each other in a duel.

For the centenary of Cuban patriot Jose Marti, the 1950s pre-Castro dictator Batista collected funds for an official film commemoration and hired renowned director Fernandez from Mexico to erect this memorial work.
