Description
Both the communists and the fascists want the priest to bless their side,
but the old gods negate Padre Pio's power. Immediately upon his arrival in Costa
Verde, Peter Reynolds, an American correspondent, is plunged into the midst of a
violent revolution. Dictator, Miguel Villalonga as well as the rebels, seek the
support of a Catholic priest, a man of god, who wields power over the Indian
peons. While Padre Pio is being held hostage in the mountains by a band of
guerrillas, the dictator is scouring the land for the priest. But "old gods"
residing in the great volcano of Zopocomapetl decide to settle the conflict
themselves, erupting in anger and pouring their fury upon rulers and rebels
alike.
