A small group of shipwrecked people find themselves in danger on a deserted island in this engaging adventure story based on a book by Emilio Salgari. After a sailor (Gonzalo Lora) is caught trying to steal some gold and jewels on the passenger liner Liguria, a fight starts that leads to an accidental fire, and the ship then explodes and sinks. Only four adults and three children manage to escape, landing on a deserted island that will ultimately provide them with enough food and fresh water to survive. Unknown to them, the crooked sailor who started it all and a captive he brought with him have landed on the opposite side of the island. It is only a matter of time before a confrontation happens -- meanwhile, the thief is the only one who knows where he buried the treasure he brought with him from the sunken ship.
