Acting as a local chieftain leader on behalf of his ailing father, Herman made a relentless call to his people to unite and help build the road to transport their goods when the government falls deaf on their petition to do the project. His call at first was responded hesitantly by his people but with the help with his former girlfriend Nita, people heeded the call and helped with the road construction. With Ofelia making amends with her father and saying sorry to her teacher, the movie ends with Herman and Nita realizing their dreams.
A film based on Hagibis, which was created in 1947, was one of the longest-running komiks serials in Philippine comics history. Inspired by Kulafu of Francisco Reyes and Tarzan of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
