Everything she "borrows" from the store to live on, she writes down in a little book so that she can repay it when she finishes her studies. She has it all planned. But one day, she meets a guy outside the office of the owner of the department store. She thinks he is there to apply for a job, and Alfredo decides to play along.
Although the owner is his father, he uses the name of his best friend, pretends to be poor and arranges for himself to get a job there in order to chase the cute Lupita.
