A charming film about the phenomenon of radio contests in Spain in the 1950s.
Gabriel, the radio presenter, and his girlfriend introduce us into the stories and lives of three radio competition participants: some inventors who need money to patent their invention; a burglar who answers a telephone call from the competition while he is robbing a house; and a teacher who needs to win the prize to pay for an operation on a sick pupil.
