The life of the rebel and vicious Juan Pablo de Osuna changes when his father, a rich cattleman, is murdered by Lucero, a cruel bandit of The Sierra Morena.
Looking for revenge Juan Pablo is wrongfully accused and everybody believes that he is a murderer, even Lucero´s gang. He becomes member of the gang and Lucero confides him.
