Antonio portrays Marcos, a journalist in Madrid who goes to the circus looking for a story. He is about to leave when he attracted by a beautiful performer (Neri) who does stunts with guns on horseback. A relationship develops. Marcos is sent to Barcelona to cover a story, and while he is gone Ana is brutally raped by three mechanics after they see her performance. Ana takes bloody revenge then goes on the run while Marcos tries to save her from self-destruction.

Director Carlos Saura sensed that Antonio had learned much from his acting experience in America and that he applied it in his European films -- a way of moving with the tremendous assurity and security "that belongs to the most powerful empire on earth."

Antonio agreed that acting in the United States had "loosened" his acting.
