Pedro Camacho is a writer and dramatic artist born in Bolivia. When he is introduced to the story the main character, Marito, immediately notices his dwarflike appearance. Pedro is small in stature due to extremely small legs, with bulging eyes and a strangely unattractive face. Pedro is hired by the owners of Radio Central and Panamericana to write the scripts for the daily serials. Pedro jumps into the job head first; organizing the actors to give powerful and realistic performances and working non-stop. Pedro's scripts are immediate hits and all of Lima buzzes about the exciting storylines. Eventually all of the incessant work hours and Pedro's personal issues took a toll on his writing.
