Diego (Rafael de Córdoba), is a violent gypsy who supposedly meets his end at the hands of avengers seeking retribution for one of his misdeeds, while Candelas (La Polaca), his former lover, lives consumed by obsession with his memory. His ghost seems to haunt her, entangling her in an inexplicable web of hallucinations. Antonio (Antonio Gades), who is enamored with Candelas, fights to liberate her from this spell and realizes that someone is truly trying to terrorize her. It is at this juncture that Candelas and Antonio resolve to unmask the mastermind behind the scheme, culminating in a climax of dance, conflict, and love.
