In this film, we follow the journey of a man deeply entrenched in the world of wrestling and boxing. As the story unfolds, he finds himself faced with the daunting task of securing forty thousand pesos to pay off the mortgage on his beloved's estate. Meanwhile, a wealthy landowner finds himself indebted to an octogenarian moneylender. To absolve the debt, the moneylender proposes a peculiar arrangement: the landowner must marry his daughter.
