In a coup, the current Mexican President Francisco Madero is killed. Pancho Villa then takes up arms to fight for the ideals of the revolution. A musician who works for this in Mexico convinces his girlfriend, the variety star Reyes Mendoza, to stand up for the Villas cause and to offer active support; a well-known singer would be unsuspecting. Mendoza does this, but falls in love with Ricardo Penalver during her performances in northern Mexico.

The soundtrack includes the songs Carmen de Espana , La cruz de mayo , La aldelita and Jesusita en Chihuahua interpreted by Carmen Sevilla .
