Twin sisters Marisol and Mariluz live separately: Mariluz with their uncle in Rio de Janeiro; and Marisol with their mother in Madrid. Marisol's mother has desperately tried to get money to see Mariluz in Brasil, so she and Marisol have worked in all kinds of places, but they never get enough money until one day Marisol's mother decides to sell everything to get the money to go to Brasil and reunite the family. Once there they discover that Mariluz's governess and her lover have devised a plan to get the twins' uncle's money. But now that Marisol and her mother have arrived, the schemers must think of how to get them out of the way.
