Synopsis

Her boat having capsized off a rocky island, Magda collapses on the shore. In a stupor, she recalls her marriage to her wealthy cousin, Fernando, in fulfillment of the wish of her dying mother; her subsequent seduction by her former lover, the cruel gigolo Marco, whom she was unable to resist; her husband's murder of her lover; her husband's incarceration; and an unsuccessful visit to beg forgiveness of her mother-in-law. Magda is rescued by three seal hunters, two of them brothers, who are instantly inflamed by her beauty and compete for her favor. Following a fight in which the hunter Juan is victorious, his brother [the third hunter according to some sources] is killed by a stampede of seals. Fearing that Juan's jealousy will lead to further death, Magda attempts suicide. She is stopped by Juan, however, who assures her that their love is real and persuades her to remain on the island.
