Sabu is a South American Indian who is taken from his native village and civilized by the white man. At first things seem better, he is fed, works and meets a girl whom he marries. They soon learn that not all white men are the same, and fall into a life of servitude. They escape to the big city, but his naivety makes him prey to hustlers and he is soon back in hard labor to make a living. The ending is perplexing, as he seemingly gets away with murder with no more than a slap on the wrist. The film often resembles an Amazon travelogue, with numerous song interludes.
