A Mexican boy named Chi (Rico Rodriguez) is staying over his friend, Danny Nelson's, house, but Danny's mom (Enid-Raye Adams) has been bitter, depressed, and unhospitable lately because of her husband's constant traveling — and things get worse when her negative feelings bring to life the spirit of a woman known in Hispanic urban legend as "La Llorona". La Llorona (Lani Gelera) comes and takes Hanna (Ali Skovbye) and Chad (Collin MacKechnie) to the pond and tries to drown them. Chi overcomes his fear of water and rescues the kids. Mr. Nelson (Woody Jeffreys) returns making Mrs. Nelson happy and the La Llorona statue is place in a box outside labeled "Free Stuff", which frightens Chi into quickly getting in the car.
