A poor honest boy finds patronage by a veteran to become a torero (bullfighter). After his raise and fall he will learn to overcome difficulties. Corridas, tientas and other bullfight related traditions are shown. Played by a real torero.

Having been a poor orphan who grew up in the hospice, the dream of Currito de la Cruz is to become a bullfighter. When he finally gets the chance of fighting for the first time, it will be in the presence of Manuel Carmona, a renowned bullfighter who will become his protector. In addition he falls in love for the daughter of Carmona and, although Currito gets to be famous, he is apparently unrequited.—jsanchez
