Synopsis


The greed and usury of the Count of Albanes has inflamed the town where Diego Corrientes lives. He confronts the tyrannical count and the latter takes revenge on him by whipping him in the woods. After being rescued by Beatriz, the count's fiancee, Diego is arrested again, managing to escape from the galley that takes him to Seville, but in the scuffle a soldier accidentally dies, which causes Diego to be accused of murder. At that time, Diego Corrientes formed a gang with a few evicted peasants and fled to the mountains, devoting himself to stealing from the rich to distribute among the poor.
