It narrates the misadventures of a bad boss (Arturo Gonzálvez) who falls in love with a poor girl (Chela Bon), harming a good young man (Lautaro Murúa)

Фильм рассказывает об истории освоения юга Чили, о мужестве и трудолюбии поселенцев, превративших дикие непроходимые леса в прекрасный край. 1847 год. Среди колонистов, высадившихся на побережье Чили, была и семья Габриэля. Когда у него умерла жена, он остался с двумя детьми — Даниэлем и Симоном. Ради них он живёт и трудится, не щадя сил. Однажды он ушёл в лес и не вернулся. Прошли годы. Даниэль и Симон, воспитанные местным жителем, выросли. Симон любил свою землю и неутомимо трудился на ней. А Даниэля не удовлетворяла жизнь, полная лишений и тяжёлого труда. Мечтая о лёгкой и беззаботной жизни, он покинул родные края. Через много лет, вернувшись бездомным бродягой, Даниэль был удивлён тем, как всё тут изменилось. Благодаря трудолюбию людей, их неустанной заботе о земле, она давала хорошие урожаи. Всё кругом цвело и благоухало. Но Даниэлю здесь ничто уже не принадлежало.

This beautiful, atmospheric Chilean movie (made by an Argentinian director) was unfortunately "cannibalized" by Jerry Warren, who kept about a third of the original footage, together with another third of "La dama de la muerte" (another superb Chilean movie of the same period, made by Argentinian director Carlos Hugo Christensen), then added his own senseless "additional sequences" with John Carradine and Katherine Victor, the final result being the atrocious CURSE OF THE STONE HAND.

A very modest employee exchanges her newborn child with the baby of a wealthy family. However, years later, when the young man is about to graduate as a doctor, he begins to investigate his hidden past.
