Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Based on a popular Argentine stage play, Joven, Viuda y Estanciera tells the story of a beautiful young cattle-ranch owner, played by Mecha Ortiz. Thanks to the underhanded activities of her executor, Ortiz is in danger of losing her property. She is rescued from poverty by her handsome foreman (Santiago Arrieta), who has carried a torch for her all his life. Despite its melodramatic overtones, the film contains as much comedy as anything else, with most of the laughs generated by supporting players Segundo Pomar and Pepita Munoz. Critics in 1941cited the resemblances between this Argentine "A" production and the general run of Hollywood "B" westerns.
