The story
Don Diego Vega is urgently called home by his father. To all outward appearances, he is the foppish son of a wealthy ranchero, the former alcalde Don Alejandro Vega, having returned to Alta California, Mexico, after his military education in Spain. Don Diego is horrified at the way the common people are mistreated by the corrupt new alcalde, Luis Quintero.
