During archaeological excavations in the crypt of Santo Tomé (Toledo, Spain), a sarcophagus is discovered containing the incorrupt body of Captain Contreras, a man in a state of suspended animation since 1650, due to a potion someone forced him to ingest to prevent further illness. The audacious journalist Cornejo intends to exploit this discovery, with the help of Paca Revilla, a careless woman, and an unscrupulous doctor. The controversy surrounding the authenticity of Contreras's body reaches the ears of several American universities, which purchase the Captain's remains.

Urrutia es un buen hombre que trabaja eficientemente como empleado de banca y, a pesar de ello, sus jefes y compañeros le guardan cierto recelo, pues están convencidos de que todas las cosas malas que suceden en la oficina se deben a la nefasta influencia que Urrutia posee.
