What happens

Ustedes los ricos (You the Rich) is a 1948 Mexican film directed by Ismael Rodríguez and starring Pedro Infante, Evita Muñoz "Chachita" and Blanca Estela Pavón. This film is the second part in a trilogy produced during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema, starting with Nosotros los Pobres (We the Poor) earlier in 1948 and followed by Pepe the Bull (Pepe, el toro) in 1953. Ismael Rodríguez directed all three films, with Pedro Infante as Pepe the Bull and Evita Muñoz "Chachita" as his daughter Chachita, while Blanca Estela Pavón only appeared as Celia in the first two, as she died in a plane crash in 1949.
