Pancho López is a person of humble beginnings with many strong character traits. He is also a generous family man, lending a hand to all who need it. Though he has an intuitive business sense, he believes that money is evil and only brings problems.
Fernanda is introduced to Pancho López's four children: Lupita (Alejandra García), his favorite daughter, is a nice young girl who inherited her father's love and compassion for other people. Ana (Sherlyn) is musically inclined and undervalues her own beauty. Sometimes she feels that her father loves Lupita more than her. Temo (Daniel Arevalo) is the youngest in the family. When he is born, Laura Torrés de López (Ana Bárbara), Pancho's wife, dies. Temo is brought-up by Chela (Luz Elena González), Pancho's sister-in-law; she cares for the family after her sister's death. Chela has her own secret to hide: she has desperately loved Pancho for many years.
Pepe López (Pablo Lyle), Pancho's eldest son, is a very courageous and adventurous young man. He is the apprentice to a mechanical engineer and has a passion for driving. He is able to transcend class barriers, communicating with all people with ease. Pepe meets and becomes interested in a rich young girl, Mónica Rinaldi (Violeta Isfel). However, she is engaged and Pepe must compete with her fiancé Freddy Irabién (Juan Diego Covarrubias)in the professional and personal spheres for Monica's love.
Candelaria «Candela» López (Alicia Machado) is Pancho's sister. She is stunning and pretends to be one of the beautiful women that takes breathe when she shows off for all regional males.
Pancho López and his family come up against financial difficulties: he has pledged his house as collateral for a loan that he ends up finding impossible to repay.
Enzo Rinaldi (Pedro Moreno) plots to throw the López and their friends away. Humiliated by his inability to provide for his family's well-being, Pancho has no option but to accept Fernanda Peñaloza's offer to take the post as president of her cosmetic company.
Fernanda also invites the López family to move into her mansion since she highly appreciates Pancho's honesty and reliability. The López family accepts this offer as well, and in their new neighborhood they meet the Irabién family consisting of three members: Vicente, Pina (Daniela Castro) and Freddy (Juan Diego Covarrubias). Fernanda finds Pancho worthy of a better life unlike her nephew Vicente Irabién (Sergio Sendel). Vicente merely bides his time waiting for the death of his Aunt and the inheritance that would come with it. The dramatic change of scenery for the López family results in many humorous situations arising from the clashing of cultures between the rich and poor.
The attractive and clever Rebeca Treviño (Mayrín Villanueva) takes Pancho under her wing and helps him acclimate to the challenges of the business world. She helps him bridge socio-economic divides, teaching him the etiquette demanded from his new position and how to make decisions in the financial sphere. She becomes Chela's competitor for Pancho's attention.
Pina, Vicente's wife, is a hypochondriac. Neither her husband nor her son takes care of her or pays attention to her. She is the host of her own radio show, «Pina Opina» (Pina Opines), where she is an able to find an outlet for her discontent. She has a small dog that she keeps with her at all times named Abeja (Bee). At one point, Popeye, the López family's dog seduces this pampered dog and this becomes another point of contention between the two families.
In turn, Vicente takes a great interest in Candela and the couple engages in a dramatic love affair.
The two families experience amusing situations when Ana, who disdains flippancy, falls in love with the irreverent Freddy. Pina becomes infatuated with Tomás Campos (Osvaldo de León), Lupita's husband-to-be.
How will Pancho and his family keep their family united with all their values retained? And will Pancho be able to cope with his personal life? who is going to be his beloved woman?
