The first installment of Mexican cinemas very first trilogy, this tells the story of dirt-poor carpenter Pepe "El Toro" (Infante), who lives with his paralyzed mother and his only daughter. Melodramatically framed for crimes he didn't commit, Pepe is thrown in prison, and his family must work to clear his name. Thankfully there are some musical numbers and lighthearted moments to offset the soap opera-level tragedy.
