Plot
[edit]Together with fellow villagers from an impoverished corner of Chile, Joaquin Murieta embarked on the long journey to far-off California, lured by the promise of gold. Along the way, he met a young woman of striking beauty, who became his wife. But their joy was short-lived. The gold seekers soon found themselves confronted by the cruelty and prejudice of the Americans. Joaquin’s beloved was raped and slain — and he took up arms to avenge her death. Yet no retribution could lessen the weight of his sorrow.[3]
