This conventional Argentinian drama is a remake of the 1946 French version of Gringalet, with the setting changed to Buenos Aires and its port. After a wealthy businessman discovers that a certain pecadillo in his past has produced an illegitimate son, he overcomes his shock and then seeks out the young man, Gringalet (Walter Vidarte). Gringalet has been working at a blue-collar job in the port area and is quite easy-going about his life. His new-found father takes him home and tries to make him a part of the family. Even when Gringalet manages to finally attain acceptance from the haughty matron and her brood, he is not at ease in this new luxurious environment. Should he stay or should he not?
