The distributor sends a spark to the proper spark plug at the proper time. To do this, the points open and close a circuit to the coil to generate the high voltage spark. This is fed to the rotor which is rotated by the cam shaft and then sends this voltage to each of the spark plugs as the engine turns. Synchronization of this is done with a timing light which will send the spark to cylinder #1 as it comes to top dead center in the fire cycle.
