Plot
Arturo (Ernesto Alonso), after becoming a widower, thinks that at last he will be able to spend his life with Amelia (Libertad Lamarque), his mistress and the woman he always loved, and recognize the children they had together. Amelia, however, fears that people will start talking badly about her and especially that her children will question her. For her part, Arturo's daughter is upset with the arrival of Amelia and her children and promises to make their lives impossible, while doubts about the circumstances of the death of Arturo's previous wife remain.
