Tío, there is something creepy going on upstairs in that big house! Anyway, the real action is at the dance hall, and that’s where we find our truant heroine, Milagros, and her willing accomplice, Gloria.

In the previous segment we found Milagros and Gloria shaking it to un ritmo vallenato from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Upon her return to the convent, Milagros is singing Ricky Maravilla’s "¿Que tendrá el petiso?" which probably got its inspiration from "Locas por el mambo", a huge 1950 Havana hit from the great Benny Moré.
