However, his life takes a drastic turn when he falls in love with Mariana, the daughter of a neighboring ranch owner, and gets caught up in a conspiracy to keep them apart. Falsely accused of murder, he ends up in prison. While in prison, he forms a bond with a fellow inmate, a nobleman who bestows his riches upon him.

The Count: Love and Honor Full Story
The Count: Love and Honor is a period drama that begins in the 1930s with the powerful love story of Alejandro Gaitán (Colunga), a humble young farmer, and Mariana (Contreras), a beautiful and rebellious young woman. But Josefina de Zambrano (Andere), Mariana’s stepmother, and Gerardo Villarreal (Sendel) conspire to turn their relationship into a living hell.
Alejandro will be charged with a double homicide and without anyone knowing his fate, he will be transferred to a dungeon on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. There he will meet Amador Guzmán (Navarro), a Spanish nobleman serving a life sentence who will reveal to Alejandro that he has a hidden treasure, leaving him this fortune before his death.
