Recently widowed ranch owner Gabriela Bermúdez is facing trouble from neighboring haciendado Don Atenor. Her aunt, Tia Lola, tells her this is why she should remarry and Gabriela reluctantly accepts the notion. She decides he should be ranch savvy and strong and goes to the town fair to peruse the bravado and deeds of the macho men hanging out. Agustin and his buddy El Tigre provide comic relief, as Tigre falls in love with Gabriela, though he is not really her type. Madly in love he tries to impress her in increasingly comic situations, eventually taking on the guise of a gun runner to seem more worldly and able to handle situations. Director Julian Soler does a good job of balancing the light and serious sides of the movie making the production an enjoyable example of early 1960s Mexican vaquero movies. The tradition of the American cowboy, is the subject matter of countless Hollywood movies. But those movies have never dealt with the true origins with the Mexican "vaquero" whose traditions were adapted to create the iconic American "Cowboy", originally a truly Mexican tradition.
