In 1827, in the Philippines, Robert Balagtas, is framed by his romantic rival and condemned to prison without trial. Years later, he escapes, finds a hidden treasure and returns to Manila a rich man.

His past is eventually discovered by the authorities, but he exposes their thieving ways to the government, and settles down for a happy life with Maria Louise.
