Anmerkung:
Rey Landel, actor and film-star, is dissatisfied with his success and escapes to a remote South-American village so isolated that his fame has not yet reached its inhabitants, in an attempt to learn to know himself. To the villagers he is from the first a suspicious foreigner. Recalling the crimes of which they have been guilty, they see in Landel the avenger of old and half-forgotten offences, and they band together to crush the interloper until their apprehension and his foolhardiness work up to a tremendous and tragic climax. The author gives a remarkable picture of the havoc wrought an primitive minds by superstition, ignorance and remorse in the shadow of the towering Andes
