Хуан Перес отсидел 20 лет за то, что сжег свою плантацию сахарного тростника, не желая, чтобы она досталась коммунистам. Разбитной красавице Дорри Перес просто надоело работать и она хочет рок-н-ролла и Джона Уэйна. Хуана все эти годы ждет жена Кармела с дочерью.

Об их забавных и частенько горьких приключениях и рассказывается в этой картине, поставленной по роману Кристины Белл.
