Haunted by her past, the famous cabaret singer Sandra (Rosa Carmina) decides to get away and marries Don Miguel Olazabal (Manuel Arvide), a wealthy landowner.

In the delirant Juan Orol's tropical melodrama, the beautiful rumberas are convicted to tragic misfortunes because of men and roam in scenarios populated of wild beaches, untimely storms, swaying palms, and in this case, omnipresent orchids.

The Mexican Film historian Emilio García Riera said: "Orol went to Cuba to make this ineffable melodrama of tropical passions in which a narrator describes the fevers of the heroine and her impotent husband.

The lush Rosa Carmina tirelessly travels between the palms of Haiti, hiding her sexual dissatisfaction in solitary beds with the open windows while listening the African drums and arouses uncontrollable passions among the laborers of her impotent husband.

A clip to store in the memory: the sequence in which Rosa Carmina dance a sensual rumba to a group of laborers feverish, burly, immobilized by the "baroques" charms of the stunning rumbera.
