Love is impossible between Manolo, a flamenco singer, and Lola, a flamenco dancer. She leaves for America to forget him and he gives himself to alcohol. Still, the love between them is so strong that it unites them across the ocean.

Juan Luis and Dimas arrive to the "Venta del Catite", a tavern run by Rafael and his goddaughter Reyes. The tavern is frequented by tuna fishermen in the region, but in reality it is a cover for smuggling. Rafael decides to hire a beautiful singer, Raquel, to distract customers and the two new arrivals, so that he can do his business without being disturbed.

A man who lost everything in the war now smuggles contraband into and out of Spain, but the law's closing in.
