This is the story of the beautiful Senorita Maria San Carlos, the lovely and only daughter of a wealthy landowner, who was betrothed to Escobar, "The Mexican Self-Styled General" before the revolution. Maria, being a strong minded teenage girl who believes in marriage for love, runs away with her old girl friend from the United States. The American beauty, Joanne, who leads Maria away from Mexico and into the dense desert between the border and Joanne's home in California.
