Fernando Mendez's 1953 Spanish-language melodrama El Lunar de la Familia unfurls against the backdrop of a deceptively innocent-sounding family reunion. Two freewheeling, party-happy young men, Luis and his buddy Antonio, catch the train in to San Miguel, on a visit to Luis's grandmother, Doña Luisa, and his sister Esther. Unfortunately for the visitors, Luisa's goddaughter Rosita, is sitting near them in the same train car. She soon catches wind of the boys' wild tendencies, and makes a point of telling Luisa. Furious, the crotchety old woman decides to teach the bad boys a lesson by beating them senseless with her cane and forcing Luis to seek out a proper mate for Esther. Unfortunately, Esther has already fallen in love with Antonio - who could care less.

Slum child, abandoned almost since birth, is reunited with his father.

When the pregnant Esther gets some bad news from her doctor, he advises her to visit a clinic in Mexico City, so she enlists husband Antonio to drive her there at once, along with her brother Luis. As soon as the men drop her off at the hospital, they hit a local nightclub and live it up, and as they are leaving the club in the company of a sexy dancer, they get thoroughly robbed: the criminals even steal the poor victims' clothes! Taken in to the police station and documented along the way, their photograph turns up in the paper the next day, which Esther of course sees. The men will have a lot to explain when they arrive at the clinic to pick up Esther.
