Synopsis: A young señorita's mother, distressed at her youngest daughter's tomboyish ways, tries to teach her to act like a fine lady in time for the big fiesta. Finally, novice seamstress Frida María transforms her party dress into frilly jodphurs and then wins the fiesta's high-stakes horse race.
