Raul, who has a magnificent voice, was orphaned as a child and has been educated by Felipe, a musician who encourages him to work with his voice. He advises him to get publicity by looking for a guitar that belonged to Carlos Gardel. He does so in Buenos Aires, Mexico and Spain while he is reaping success, besides finding love.
Fotogramas magazine commented on the film (translated from Spanish):
"Aged musical comedy built to the measure of the then famous Argentine singer Agustín Irusta. The slight plot anecdote, the search for a guitar that would have belonged to Carlos Gardel, is a mere pretext for the usual repertoire of tangos and the occasional sevillana. Everything takes place within the limits of zero imagination."[2]
