Paco el Cóndor (Javier Gutiérrez), the biggest radio personality in Spain, leaves his radio station as he signs up for a competitor.[4] His aggressive style attracts the attention from the radio listeners.[5] His second in command and pupil, the younger Jota (Mike Esparbé), stays and becomes his rival as they vye over hegemony in the radio system.[4] While Jota initially dissaproves on El Cóndor's methods, he learns the hard way that if he is to succeed, he will need to follow his former master's steps.[5] Meanwhile, the radio programme hosted by Marga Laforet (Itsaso Arana) is moved to the early morning slot.[2]
