Confía en que solo un hombre cuidará este árbol: su capataz Juan Verdades. ¡Don Ignacio también es un hombre orgulloso y deja que su orgullo lo lleve a una apuesta peligrosa! Le apuesta a un ranchero vecino en su rancho que Juan Verdades no puede decir una mentira. Su oponente está decidido a ganar la apuesta, usando la astucia y la ayuda de su hermosa hija para engañar a Juan Verdades para que robe toda la fruta del preciado manzano. ¿Podrá Juan Verdades decir la verdad sobre lo que ha hecho? El rancho depende de ello.
