Synopsis: [From IMP promotional materials] A pretty love story with the Cuban individuality. Obstacles are thrown in the way of true love and the stern parent is circumvented by means of a whistle, which is the signal agreed upon by the lovers to meet. The girl reads a newspaper account of the supposed death of her sweetheart. She is striken and loses her reason. The well remembered whistle of her lover restores her sanity in a unique manner. The exacting parent now gladly removes all objections to the marriage. This is the sort of story which has made “Imp” films famous all over the world.
