A grim melodrama about exploitation and sacrifice in the cabaret underworld, where a woman's selfless devotion to her sister's future collides with betrayal and desperation.
Mercedes works as a cabaret performer to pay for her sister's studies. Problems begin when Mercedes and Paco, her exploiter, win a dance contest, but he refuses to share the prize with her.
