In the early onset of the Mexican Revolution, a wealthy landowner, Ricardo Navarro, marries Lolita, a poor woman with a child.
Everything seems fine until one day when Luis is in the brink of ruin due to the fact that he stole the money trusted in him by his superiors in gambling.
When Lolita hears about it she decides to sacrifice her pride and asks a favor from a gentleman, Señor Borja who previously stated he would do anything to help her.
Luis pays back the money, but he feels so guilty that he decides to volunteer to the service in the revolution in order to amend himself.
Eventually Lolita is received with Señor Borja after Teresa has a change of heart and asks for forgiveness.
14 years later, Pablo is a highly successful lawyer and has taken the case of Lolita after Don Justo petitions him to.
He then proceeds to make arrangements to meet up with Luis and Teresa, who have finished their service with their government.
When Luis asks in Maria Ester knows the truth, Don Justo says she does, as he was not going to die with the secret.
