In the plot, Joam Garral approves his daughter's request to visit Belém, where she intends to wed Manuel Valdez in front of Manuel's ailing mother. The Garrels use a massive timber raft to navigate the Amazon River. Joam wants to clear his name in Belém since he is still wanted in Brazil for a crime he did not commit.
