Men ride into a small South American town. A powerful and popular leader comes to see a young lady in a movie theater. Diana Corday provokes jealousy in Pancho, big cattle and landowner. The word 'stop' provides humor. There will be a national broadcast from this small coffee-growing country by Diana Corday. Pancho will leave for Santa Rosa to see Diana. There is a song. Diane and her entourage travel by train. Dozens of riders approach the National Limited. The 'Robin Hood of Alturas' is another story created for the media. Diana and her group are invited to visit Pancho, the train continues on its rapid way. People seem to be happy, no economic problems here. There is a comic bathing scene. The radio brings news of an abduction for ransom! General Valdez will send troops to capture and kill Pancho.
