El hacendado Alfonso Pereira enfrenta graves problemas económicos y no encuentra mejor solución que explotar los bosques de su hacienda, para lo cual debe desalojar a sus huasipungueros, es decir, a los indios que habitan humildes chozas y trabajan pequeñas parcelas a cambio de laborar en las tierras del patrón. Cuando los perjudicados, liderados por Andrés Chiliquinga, se oponen al desalojo, el patrón, con la ayuda de las fuerzas armadas, no se detiene ante nada para cumplir con su cometido.
