NEW RESTORATION

A young Ricardo Montalbán, taking a break from his work at MGM, plays Federico, an engineer from the capital who is sent to the Veracruz mountains to look for barbasco roots, from which cortisone is obtained.

Pedro, an indigenous man from the region, guides him through the jungle, but they get lost. Pedro is bitten by a snake and dies, while Federico falls into a river and faints.

When he wakes up, he finds himself in with Yáscara, the daughter of Santos. Played by Mexico’s national scream queen Ariadna Welter, she falls in love with him.
