Mi Candidato is a "Mexican western" with appropriate musical interludes. Domingo Soler plays Don Valintin Vaca, who rules his ancestral village with an iron hand. Don Valintin's methods of maintaining his power include an embargo against the silver works managed by his political rival, rebellious young Pancho Garcia (Pedro Armendariz). He also tries to undermine Pancho's popular support by tempting him with a big-city seductress. Everything ends happily with Pancho legally wresting Don Valintin's political power away from him, winning the hand of the lovely Rosario Cortina (Esther Fernandez) in the bargain.
