Juan Francisco Garcia, known as Juan Francisco Rey in the United States, was a jailer in Havana who aided the escape of two prisoners, Cirillo Villaverde and Vicente Fernandez. After fleeing to the United States, Rey is lured into a web of deceit by two men, Ayala and Llorente, who act on behalf of the Spanish Consul.
