A Mexican family, with a fiesta—tango music, the swishing of dancing señoritas' scarfs, the clinking of glasses. In the midst of this gaiety a little girl enters to ask the Padre to come quickly for her mother is dying. The hilarity of the story changes to one of sadness—the mother of a happy household quickly slips away. A year later, Ana and Consuelo, daughter who now mothers the family causes her father deep concern for she has the same symptoms which marked her mother's illness, Lopez is afraid of doctors, uninformed about sanatorias and burdened with the belief that tuberculosis is inherited. Consuelo, herself, secretly dreads her doom; the wise Padre discovers the children's distress, persuades them to see the doctor.
