The Silverplated are Robinhood bandits whose only mission in life is
to fight for justice and avenge their father's unjust death. They
steal from the rich to give to the poor.The main character of the
story is Emilio Gallardo (Humberto Zurita)a villain. Emilio is a
wealthy landowner, seducer, and always-winner in life. But one thing
he lacks: a male son and heir. The basic conflict of the story is a
mystery not revealed until near the end: That conflict is whether
Emilio will ever get his son. (The story might be better entitled,
"Emilio quiere hijo." What the audience does not know until near the
end is that Emilio is actually sterile; thus he can never accomplish
his desired goal. Emilio is sterile because his mother had him
sterilized by a curandera (or witch) as a child. His mother thought
her husband so wicked that his blood line should not be passed on
through Emilio. He is utterly selfish, sadistically cruel, and
unfaithful by nature and believes that he can have every woman he
wishes for. In order to produce a male heir, he longs to marry a much
younger women, the young and beautiful Camila Castañeda (Tamara
Monserrat). Unbeknownst to his wife, for years Emilio has had a wild
sexual relationship with his amante, her older sister Luciana
Castañeda (Dominika Paleta). And unbeknownst to Emilio, while Camila
is putting off Emilio on consummating the marriage sexually, Camila
manages to get deflowered by Gabriel soon after she exchanges marriage
vows with Emilio. Eventually, however, Camila lets Emilio have his way
with her once, which covers her pregnancy caused by the Robin Hood
Gabriel. Thus Camila gives birth to the male son which Emilio was
wanting. Although Camila does not love Emilio, her mother Ofelia
(Wendy de los Cobos) tries to convince her that love will come with
time. Thus this telenovela uses the often used plot line of two
sisters in conflict over one manâ€"first Emilio, then Gabriel.Camila
does not even suspect that on the day of her train ride to her wedding
with Emilio, she will meet the love of her life Gabriel Campuzano
(Mauricio Islas) when he robs the train. Gabriel is the leader of the
infamous group of bandits "Los Plateados (The Silverplated), whose
members include his younger brothers Tomás Campuzano (Rodrigo Oviedo)
and Manuel Campuzano (Juan Carlos Martín del Campo) and their sister
Ximena Campuzano (Angélica Celaya). In the first movement of this
story, Gabriel is a brave and powerful man who enchants Camila with a
single gaze. Together with his brothers and sister they live hidden in
a cave (like Batman); after their father, Sebastian Campuzano, in the
pre-history of this telenovela, was unjustly accused of killing a
friend and neighboring hacienda owner and was subsequently shot by
firing squad. Los plateados Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
