El hacendado Alfonso Pereira enfrenta graves problemas económicos y no encuentra mejor solución que explotar los bosques de su hacienda, para lo cual debe desalojar a sus huasipungueros, es decir, a los indios que habitan humildes chozas y trabajan pequeñas parcelas a cambio de laborar en las tierras del patrón. Cuando los perjudicados, liderados por Andrés Chiliquinga, se oponen al desalojo, el patrón, con la ayuda de las fuerzas armadas, no se detiene ante nada para cumplir con su cometido.

 

The landowner Alfonso Pereira faces serious economic problems and finds no better solution than to exploit the forests of his farm, for which he must evict his huasipungueros, that is, the Indians who live in humble huts and work small plots in exchange for working in the patron lands. When those affected, led by Andrés Chiliquinga, oppose the eviction, the boss, with the help of the armed forces, stops at nothing to fulfill his mission.
