- During the Second World War, a cooperation agreement between the Brazilian and US governments led to the transportation of around 60,000 men from the Northeast of Brazil to the Amazon Region to work on the extraction of latex destined for the American arms industry. Half of these men died before they could return home and many others are still awaiting recognition as "national heroes" and the pensions equal to those of servicemen they had been promised.

Rodolfo writes a letter to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios and hopes to find a job offer. Surprisingly, Rodolfo meets a local group of keen amateur movie-makers on a set. One of the group members, Laura, is engaged to Leonardo, the mayor's son and "producer" of their local movies. Rodolfo falls in love with Laura and is inspired by her to write his latest script "The Isle of Death", the tale of an evil doctor who controls the inhabitants of a god-forsaken island by hypnosis. Meanwhile, Rodolfo's father joins the local revolutionaries whose aim is to eliminate the feared Captain Duarte, the main force of oppression in the village. Despite his father considering his Hollywood endeavors childish, Rodolfo steals revolutionary funds in order to film his movie. The beloved Laura is his star. The story of the evil and dictatorial doctor is a success and succeeds in spurring the audience to rebel.
