synopsis
This crime drama was co-scripted by Alberto Ramirez de Aguilar who got the idea for the story from an actual case history of a murder. Ramirez de Aguilar, himself a crime reporter, places his main protagonist in that same profession. The reporter (Armando Silvestre) has custody of the bereaved mistress (Lilia del Valle) of the murder victim. Even though he seems overly rough around the edges, the reporter is portrayed as having enough ~chutzpah~ to take on the task of proving that the mistress has to be innocent of the crime. To that end, several red herrings and suspenseful situations unfold before the real evidence is tracked down.
