Caesar Echagüe, who belongs to an long time family of ranchers, pretending to be a coward and a dandy, but is actually in disguise fighting against injustice under the secret identity of the Coyote. The alleged Caesar simpleton attitude shames his fiancée, Leonor, until Coyote saves her from a plot by the evil Parker and reveals his true identity.
