Synopsis

In Maximilian times, a German physician, Dr. Sternau, is asked by the American president to deliver a message to general Juarez, the leader of the rebels. The German saves the life of an Aztec princess, and is in return saved by her, after he accidently has seen the lost treasure of the Aztecs, and the girl’s father wants to kill him for this reason. Sternau’s work is thwarted by the corrupt officer Verdoja, who wants to lay his hands on the treasure.
