The action takes place in a square in the city of Córdoba, Veracruz . The mulatto Soledad is harassed by her lovers and people comment on the mystery that surrounds the woman. Her origin is unknown and, despite her age, she does not age. Among the lovers is Anselmo, who declares his love for her. Although she does not promise him love, she trusts him, because the resemblance to her father is enough to reveal her secrets.

In the Palace of the Inquisition in Mexico City, the mulatto Soledad, who believed herself protected from the angry mob, is now confronted with the Inquisitor. He orders her to confess her origin or warns her that she will be condemned for dealing with the devil. Anselmo emerges from a group of friars, who asks permission to speak with the mulatto woman. Since she says she cannot pronounce her father’s name, Anselmo urges her to write her name on the wall. The mulatto draws a boat. At the end of this magnificent representation, she takes Anselmo’s hand and they both climb into the ship, which disappears with the characters.
