Enterprising, vital and kind Estelita meets Daniel: a young millionaire and playboy, dedicated to the fleeting romances and to the good life and money that he inherited from his deceased parents. He is immediately attracted to her, as she is not like other women he used to know.

The uncle of Daniel is a millionaire and prestigious industrialist, worldwide famous, dedicated and honest businessman who made his fortune with hard work and impeccable behavior. But at night, in a wig and with false moustaches, wearing fancy clothes and several golden chains and rings, he handles the clandestine businesses.
