Julia/Bonnie is a con artist who works with her lover, Billy, to steal money from men. She ends up falling in love with her husband, Luis (and he with her), but Billy talks her into killing him and taking the rest of his money. Luis finds out about Billy and their plans to kill him. Julia puts rat poison in Luis’s coffee. Luis (who already knows about the rat poison in the coffee) tells her he loves her and can’t live without her, and then drinks the coffee. She rushes him to the train station with Billy close behind them. Billy catches up to them and threatens to kill Julia. Luis shoots him, security arrives, Julia tells them to get a doctor for Luis and then grabs the gun and finishes off Billy, which is why she is in a Cuban prison. She confesses everything to the priest (Mario Iván MartÃnez), awaiting her execution. He is so moved by her story that he switches clothes with her to allow her to escape. Final scene shows Julia reunited with a healthy Luis, helping him cheat at a card game.
