Marisol is a girl with a kind heart and an overflowing imagination. One day she witnesses in a museum the theft and replacement by a forgery of a famous painting, "The Madonna of the Roses". At first nobody believes her, but finally they realize she was telling the truth (for once). The head of the trio of thieves, Pepe, is an old ventriloquist artistically known as "Joe Carter." When Marisol appears on television threatening to give them away if they do not return the painting, they decide to kidnap her. But what they don't know is that deep down they are good people.
