Aurelio aims high in life, so he drops out of school to work for Don Cleto, a dangerous criminal; his first mission ends with him lying on the ground, but good ideas come easy to him.

Don Cleto tests Aurelio's loyalty; Captain Jiménez tries to figure out what the boy is up to; Aurelio convinces a pilot to take him on as a mechanic apprentice and aircraft pilot.

Captain Jiménez delivers Aurelio a morbid message, since he knows the child works for Don Cleto; Jiménez and Cleto's wife Angélica meet several times, but they are not as careful as they think.

Jiménez gains the evidence needed to charge Cleto, but the town has too many eyes; Aurelio makes his first flight as captain of the plane, but Captain Jiménez waits for his landing.

After six years, Jiménez threatens Aurelio and warns that he has not forgotten what he did; Don Cleto declares enough is enough, and Aurelio takes it personally and so prepares to face Jiménez.
