The Snares of Love

Three love stories, all involving men named Mauricio, that end ironically for their protagonists. First, a man succumbs to two women’s charms; second, a beautiful rural woman comes to Mexico City to work for a fake talent manager; and third, a rich woman who uses one of her employees as a sex machine gives him a watch that will teach him a lesson.

Yvonne (Trampas de amor)

With the name of Yvonne, the small town girl Modesta arrives to the capital city to audition for Mauricio, an impostor film producer who, in real life, is an exploiter of women. Mauricio gives Modesta some money for her expenses; he changes her look and turns her into a blonde. Afterwards, he tells her that the presumed screen test went wrong, and he tries to convince her to have sex with a rich man. When she discovers the truth, Modesta decides to go back to her town, but Mauricio realizes that he loves her and marries her.
