Based on a radio soap opera, "Ahi Viene Martin Corona" (Here Comes Martin Corona) is the story of a 19th century legendary hero from Northern Mexico who, as a young boy, saw the murder of his parents by a gang of outlaws. He is raised by "Piporro" (Lalo Gonzalez) a faithful friend of the family who trainees him to be a God-fearing man ready to help the needy and combat the crooks in society. As an adult Martin (Pedro Infante) and Piporro set up sort of a Batman and Robin operation on horseback. They ride all over the country side helping victims of crime and capturing outlaws becoming popular heroes whose deeds are told from mouth to mouth and inspire the most colorful corridos. At the same time Martin is a celebrated ladies man who can melt the hearts of females with his good looks, legendary status and romantic songs.

Martin and Piporro are summoned to help Rosario Medina (Sarita Montiel), a beautiful young heiress who has arrived from Spain to claim an inheritance. Rosario finds that her cousin Emeterio, (Armando Silvestre) who is in cohorts with a gang of cattle robbers, has taken over her property and is forcing her to marry him in order to legalize his sole ownership. Martin and Piporro are told about the lady in distress and hasten to help her but before they arrive, Rosario has managed to escape dressed as a Mexican peasant and has taken a new identity as singer and dancer Carmen Linares in order to save her life. Martin and Piporro see her performing at a local inn but ignore that this is the woman they are trying to help. The exchanges between Martin and Carmen are explosive since she believes him to be one of the crooks in Emeterios gang. However, in spite of her rejections Martin cant help but fall in love with the beautiful singer. Ultimately, the real crooks kidnap Rosario and take her back to Emeterio who decides to kill her after forcing her to sign over the family fortune. Meanwhile Martin and Piporro find out about Carmens real identity and the precarious situation she is in. With the help of volunteers they stormed the ranch where she is being held captive and liberate her, turning over Emeterio and his associates to law enforcement authorities. Although Martin fakes to be angry with Rosario for her previous rejections, she goes fiercely after him and declares her love. The couple embraces and starts a new life.
