Juan is the son of a poor widow in Seville. Against his mother's wishes he pursues a career as toreador. He rapidly gains national prominence, and takes his childhood sweetheart Carmen as his bride.

He finds interesting parallels in the life of the infamous bandit Plumitas when they eventually meet by chance.
