In Italian Somalia in 1934, a powerful colonist is running a vast estate with many indigenous workers, helped by a young, energetic and well-liked overseer. Then the colonist's beautiful, innocent daughter who had remained in her home country arrives, eager to experience the romance of Africa, full of exotic animals and human beings with strange, delightfully primitive customs. The young people fall in love, but the landowner vehemently rejects what he sees as an inappropriate match. The young overseer leaves and finds consolation in the arms of a beautiful native woman, but the tribe and her husband strongly and tragically oppose this.
