All men are under lovely Maritza’s spell.Tired of working for the old woman Yelina, who forces her to cajole customs officials to help the smugglers, she flees and finds work at Mrs. Avricolos’ farm. The latter is in business with an unscrupulous moneylender, whose daughter is promised to Leone, the family’s eldest son. But Leone will fall quickly for Maritza...
