When the frog test says pregnant and your dad reaches for his gun, it's 1969 Spain, baby.
The frog test confirms Julita is pregnant. This is usually a great news. In this case, no. She is a victim of premarital sex, and he, Paco, a mechanic who, according to some theories of French biologist, explained by a podiatrist friend, will not be liable. Don Ramiro, the father of Julia, is a liberal-minded man, but when his daughter tells him that she will have a son who will not parent, seeking the solution of fatherhood in his gun regulation.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of the 'comedia desarrollista' boom—films that mocked Spanish modernization while reinforcing conservative values. The frog test was real: urine injected into female frogs, who'd lay eggs if pregnant.
Javier Aguirre cranked out like twelve films in three years. This was his 'pregnant mechanic's girlfriend gets gun-pointed by dad' phase. Soledad Miranda would soon become Jess Franco's muse before her tragic death in 1970.
