A beautiful and nice young woman from Malaga, whom everyone calls Malvaloca, is forced to have lovers to bring money to her house, when she falls in love with Leonardo, a friend and partner of her last lover. The drama is unleashed because although he also loves her, they must fight against the social rejection that this courtship provokes. Apart from the dramatic action, the work shows the grace and spontaneity of the dialogues typical of the works of the Quinteros brothers.[3]
