A sheltered heiress crochets her way into a gold digger's trap—Philippine melodrama at its most delicious.
Adela is the sheltered daughter of successful Dr. Maximo Sevilla. She has spent her life crocheting alone in the big house, and disappointed her father for failing to qualify for a career in law or medicine, and for lacking the confidence of her departed mother. Adela vainly struggles to cultivate elegance, until she meets and falls for the charms of striking David Javier.
