Huanto (Dick Ryan), of the Rurales, was loved by both Marachita and Guella (Gypsy Hart), daughter of the tortilla maker and Marachita's only competition in the village of Poldique. Trouble is stirred up when Huanto presents Guella's mother a black-lace mantilla because of her wonderful tortillas, and the old woman, when Huanto was out of sight, told Guella to put it on so people would think Huanto had given it to her. Marachita thinks so and is filled with fury. She tells Juan if he will get her a finer mantilla, she would be his sweetheart...a promise she has no intention of keeping...and on that spells doom for Juan. Written by Les Adams See less
