He wanders along the city, defeated and astray, until he meets Salma, a young jinetera hounded by a beautiful and merciless procuress. Together they arrive at the ruins of an old abandoned theatre looking for refuge and are taken in by an eccentric old acrobat and clown who they have seen perform on the streets.
