Trama
Martin and Hazel Quarrier, fundamentalist missionaries from America, are sent to convert Indians in a remote jungle mission in South America that was previously run by Catholics who were killed by the natives. Martin finds himself fascinated by the Indians while Hazel is terrified of them. Meanwhile, American pilot Lewis Moon joins the Indian tribe but becomes attracted to Leslie Huben's young wife, Andy. The interaction of these characters and cultures, combined with the encroaching civilization represented by bulldozers, leads towards a potential disaster.
