Plot
Rafael Leónidas Trujillo is a cattle thief. In a confusing event, he meets Mariana Durán, his current wife, who saved him from death. Some time later, Rafael enters the army and forges a career of several years that leads him to the rank of general. From this position, he forges a coup against the dictator at the time, Eusebio Porras. After an interim period in the governing military junta, Trujillo took power after a suspicious Dominican election that had him winning over a lot of opponents (students and guerrillas).{{cite web |url=http://novelasyseries.univision.com/article/2052032/2014-08-08/el-chivo/la-historia-de-rafael-trujillo|title=La historia de Rafael Trujillo|publisher=Novelas y series Univisión |access-date=September 25, 2014|language=es}}
