Karina Salvacion (Nora Aunor), a village girl who is mysteriously spared when a platoon of soldiers led by Colonel Valderrama (Eddie Garcia) massacres her family along with the peasants of the town of San Marco accused of sympathizing with the Communists, seeks revenge for this massacre when she has grown up. Her body has healed, but her mind is still recovering from the horrible experience and she thirsts for revenge. She crafts a scheme to exact retribution. She eyes the head of the military mission who instigated the carnage that she survived; he is now a well-admired retiring general about to cap his career with the service's highest honors. The man is at last within her reach--the drama of revenge is nearing its climax--now Karina will set it into action.
