Carlos del Rio, a handsome young singer, works as a laborer on a road construction project near the Rio Grande in Texas. One night, a touring car and truck collide outside the camp and Carlos goes to their rescue. He finds the driver of the car, Pedro Medina, an elderly man who is taking his young granddaughter Lolita to Los Angeles to live with her older sister Teresa, seriously injured. When Pedro dies, Carlos, who has been notified that the will of his late uncle is being probated in Los Angeles, decides to take Lolita with him to California. There, Carlos rents a room in a boarding house and learns from his uncle's lawyer, Martinez, that, other than a cash settlement to Cruz Ramos, the owner of a gambling casino, Carlos has inherited the bulk of his uncle's estate. Martinez suggests that Carlos meet with Ramos, who has been named executor. At Ramos's apartment, Carlos meets Marta Cortez, a young singer who works as a cigarette girl at Ramos's gambling casino. Although Ramos informs Carlos that his uncle's estate consists of a retreat in the country that he has leased for $100 a month, in reality, Ramos has rented the property to a gambling syndicate for a huge amount of money. Through Tana, an actress in his boarding house, Carlos wins an audition at the casino where he again meets Marta, and the pair fall in love. When Ramos returns from a brief vacation, he becomes enraged upon learning that the proceeds from the gaming room and roulette wheel have declined. Meanwhile, through Marta and Tana, Carlos learns that Ramos has been cheating him out of his inheritance. In protest, they all quit Ramos' employ, and later discover that Marta is Lolita's long-lost sister Teresa. Soon after, the police raid the casino, and Ramos directs them to Carlos, who is arrested for owning an illegal gambling hall. Martinez testifies in Carlos's behalf, and Ramos is arrested and brought to justice. Carlos then reopens the casino on a legitimate basis and all ends happily.

Handsome young Pepe Nuñez prefers to roam the world as a vagabond singer and fisherman, while his staid identical twin brother Tomás manages the family shoe factory. While visiting his brother in San Francisco, Tomás tells Pepe that he is needed in Panama for an important business deal and asks Pepe to impersonate him while he is gone so that his competitors, the Bermejillos, will not know that he has left town. Happy-go-lucky Pepe agrees to pose as Tomás, president of the Nuñez Shoe Company, and his first act is to appoint his sidekick, Paco Jerez, as an efficiency expert. In the role of Tomás, Pepe revolutionizes office routines at the factory. He introduces streamlined shoes, entertains the employees with his singing and promotes the pretty blonde information clerk to the position of Paco's secretary. He also presents Rita Castro, Tomás' cabaret-singer girlfriend, with a $10,000 bracelet and falls in love with his Aunt Crescencia's niece, Eva Collado. When Paula Bermejillo, the pretty business representative from the rival firm, suggests a merger, Pepe, who finds her attractive, proposes that they discuss it over dinner. After visiting the night spots, a very drunk Pepe blunders into the nightclub where Rita is performing and causes a jealous scene. In the morning, Pepe learns that while drunk, he signed a contract prohibiting the Nuñez Shoe Company from making rubber galoshes. When Pepe learns that Tomás has sent a fleet carrying raw rubber from Panama, he decides to manufacture rubber tires, and promotes the new product on a radio broadcast featuring himself as a mystery singer. Although the radio program is a great success, Tomás wires Pepe to discontinue it. When Eva discovers that Pepe is only posing as president, she condemns him, and Pepe, believing that he has lost her love, disappears with Paco. Soon after, Tomás returns and realizes that Pepe's radio tire project is a sensation and he and Eva, now contrite for their condemnation of Pepe, begin to search for him. They find him at the docks, aboard a tramp steamer, singing for the tire company by remote control. Pepe is delighted when he discovers that he has redeemed himself in Tomás' eyes, especially when Eva comes aboard and suggests a honeymoon cruise for two.
