Plot Summary

A girl is saved by a miracle after she falls from a cliff in the Argentine Andes, and is blessed with healing powers. A shrine is built on the site, and a whole city grows around it, rich with gold from the grateful worshipers. Ruiz, an evil and sadistic general, captures the city, confiscates the gold, and closes the shrine. But the Gaucho, the charismatic leader of a band of outlaws, comes to the rescue. Written by John Oswalt

Quotes The Girl of the Shrine: All things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive... Do you believe?
The Gaucho: I do not know. I do not understand. I do not understand *you*. You're like a beautiful sunset - something I can't embrace, yet I love... You're like one night on the pampas... I was alone... A full moon rose... A bird sang... I believe in *you*.
