The love of a young woman, Dolorcitas (Ana Giner), descended from a less aristocratic family is disputed by her husband, an enterprising entrepreneur, Melchor Llorens (Leopoldo Pitarch), and by an old and young suitor, Daniel Soler (Ramón Sernequet), a young man with a cradle and a waste of family wealth. This one through the blackmail puts the name of the young woman in question. The festival of Moros y cristianos, in which both are captains, will serve to unmask the young man, save the girl's name and redo the happiness of his marriage.

Francisco Sanz Baldoví (Anna, 1872-Valencia, 1939), better known as “Paco Sanz” or “ventriloquist Sanz”, was one of the most popular artists in Spain in the first half of the 20th century. In 1918, the Spanish ventriloquist filmed this fascinating documentary (entitled “Sanz and the Secret of His Art”), with the help of filmmaker Maximiliano Thous and his two artisan mechanics, in order to show the extraordinary complexity of the mechanism of his dolls and his ability to handle them on stage.
