- Arturo, who has just turned 15, is in love with 13-year-old Paloma. In a moment of passion at a ski lodge while on a field trip to the mountains with their schoolmates, he gets her pregnant. Afraid of what may happen to them if their strict (but somewhat inattentive) parents or any of the rather straight-laced teachers at their Catholic school find out about the baby, Arturo and Paloma turn to their young friends and relatives for help instead. This proves to be something of a coming-of-age for everyone involved as they try to help the young couple get married, conceal the pregnancy from their parents, and prepare for the birth. The many adventures they have while doing this, while often amusing, help drive home to them that the old wives' tale about storks bringing babies is just a myth (hence the title), and pregnancy and childbirth are actually very serious matters.
- Immediately following the events in Adiós, Cigüeña, Adiós (1971), Arturo, Paloma, and their friends now face a struggle with their parents and various other authorities over what is to be done with their new addition to the gang. Arturo's father just wants the whole matter to go away, Paloma's father prefers to dump the baby at a foundlings' home run by nuns, and the nuns don't care where the infant originated or what his parents want for him. All other options exhausted, the gang ultimately has no choice but to make a daring raid on the foundlings' home to get their child back, because, as they've repeatedly pointed out... "The child is ours!"
- During the bloody end of the war in Heaven, Lucifer searches to find the true reason for the uprising-- the first man. Attempting to escape banishment at the hands of Satan's pursuing brothers, she wields a stolen power in hopes of claiming the throne of Heaven and Mankind's love forever.
