Third part, and we’re still gettin through the basics! Sheesh~ At this telenovela’s core is bitter rivalry between the virginal villager, Aymar, and the cold-hearted succubus, Maura Duran. It’s quintessential ‘good vs. evil’ here, folks, albeit with two breathtakingly hot babes. Let’s begin with our vile villainess.
Two rival families, the Duran’s and the Rosemberg’s, vie for political control. While the power-hungry Duran is tied to local gangsters, Rosemberg is a virtuous man, and protector of the poverty stricken villagers. Duran decides to engulf the Rosemberg hacienda in flames, in turn killing the entire family, leaving him the only electoral candidate. The inferno does take the life of Rosemberg and his wife, but their young daughter, Karina, manages to escape unharmed, but is never seen again. In the ruins of the estate, a gold medallion is found by Duran’s young daughter, Maura, with the name ‘Karina Rosemberg’ engraved. Duran later dies, leaving Maura under the care of his equally wicked mistress, Luisa. Luisa safeguards the medallion, for a future scheme.
Maura, now full-grown busty bombshell, gambles and beds her way through high society. The femme fatales travel around targeting rich bachelors, depleting their bank accounts, as well as their libidos. With a heart of ice, and a fiery desire for power, she’s evil incarnate. The time is now ripe for Luisa’s plan to unfold. Since Karina Rosemberg’s body was never found, Luisa convinces Maura to impersonate the missing girl, and claim the ruined estate, and their fortune as well, with proof of her identity being the stolen medallion. Naturally, the El Paraiso hacienda neighbors the old Rosemberg ruins, so who else to target next? Los Bravos! Maura/Karina has not one, but three eligible bachelors to slake her thirst for power and riches. Which Bravo will fall victim to this viper?
There’s just one small problem. It seems the real Karina Rosemberg is alive! Now an amnesiac, and semi-retard, she hides out in the ruins and wanders the village as a beggar. A fellow beggar names her ‘Sirenita’ (Little Mermaid) as she slowly starts to regain her memory. Her only hope is to find what she remembers as the only link to her past, an iron box, unbeknownst to her, containing the title and deed to her family’s estate. Events will lead her to confront her mysterious past, and the malicious Maura Duran.
