While looking for garage work, Juan travels to Patagonia trying to make a living selling hand-made knives in an economically depressed Argentina. After helping a stranded motorist, he is given a giant white purebred dog named "Bombon." This leads to an introduction to a dog trainer named Walter, who trains the dog and owner for the dog show circuit. When Bombon wins one of of the dog shows, Juan and Walter now think they have it made.
