In a small Mexican town, an orphan named Matea, portrayed by Isela Vega, serves alongside Father Feliciano, played by Mario Almada, in his parish. The local doctor attempts to seduce Matea unsuccessfully and subsequently spreads rumors alleging an inappropriate relationship between Matea and the priest. The townspeople believe these accusations and seek retribution. The doctor refuses to recant, leading to him and Matea being secluded together.

Following these events, Matea assumes a new role in the community, becoming revered as the "Black Widow," akin to a priestess.
