Renzo, a Gypsy, falls madly in love with Dolores, a young woman facing an unhappy and difficult family situation. After her mother's death, Dolores is left alone with her nanny and her brother Humberto, a man of weak character. Renzo’s love is returned by Dolores, but the couple's future is threatened by a villain named Rodolfo Farnesio—a wealthy, powerful man accustomed to getting whatever he wants. Farnesio becomes completely obsessed with Dolores's stunning beauty and begins to woo her, determined to make her his wife.
The film narrates events of the Revolution of the Park, carried out by radical sympathizers on July 26, 1890. There is a secondary plot with the romance of a girl who, despite being in love with her father's godson, must contract a marriage with a banker that fails.
El Grito Sagrado (The Silent Call) is a fictionalized retelling of Argentina's fight for independence from Spain. The story is "personalized" by being related through the eyes of Mariquita Sanchez de Thompson y Mendeville, played by popular Latin American leading lady Fanny Navarro. Rebelling against the cozy traditionalism of her family, Mariquita weds tireless patriot Martin Thompson (Carlos Cores). She remains by her husband's side as he helps to fend off a British invasion and to achieve freedom for the Argentine slave population. Oddly, the principal villains in the film are the British, a reflection perhaps of Argentine dictator Juan Peron's ongoing efforts to curry favor with Spain.
