Synopsis
During the revolution, the Zapatista troops of General José Juan Reyes (Pedro Armendáriz) take the quiet and conservative city of Cholula. While confiscating the assets of the rich people of the town, General Reyes falls in love with the beautiful, rich and indomitable Beatriz Peñafiel (María Félix), daughter of the most notable man in Cholula. The initial contempt that Beatriz feels towards the revolutionary gives way to curiosity and, finally, to a deep and authentic love.
