Plácido Martín

A young man loses all his money by gambling and decides to commit suicide, but is interrupted by a mysterious man who invites him to join a suicide club, where, through letters, it is drawn who is going to die.

It narrates the misadventures of a bad boss (Arturo Gonzálvez) who falls in love with a poor girl (Chela Bon), harming a good young man (Lautaro Murúa)

Rosita, a poor and naive girl, becomes entangled in a delicate love affair, which forces her to seek the spiritual help of the kind and ingenious Padre Pitillo, a country priest who does not censure the passion that has ruined poor Rosita, but puts things in their place, in his own particular way.

This beautiful, atmospheric Chilean movie (made by an Argentinian director) was unfortunately "cannibalized" by Jerry Warren, who kept about a third of the original footage, together with another third of "La dama de la muerte" (another superb Chilean movie of the same period, made by Argentinian director Carlos Hugo Christensen), then added his own senseless "additional sequences" with John Carradine and Katherine Victor, the final result being the atrocious CURSE OF THE STONE HAND.
