Dionisio, a worker in a mexican hacienda, is looking for someone who can become a godparent for his newborn son, Diego. While being drunk, he goes to the cemetery, where Death appears before him and offers to become his son's Godmother.

Years go by, and Diego is now a young man. Having become the foreman of the Hacienda, he lives a good life. However, a series of events force him to become a bandit, rebelling against his former childhood friend, who is now his master and the owner of the hacienda.
