SYNOPSIS.
Two beautiful women Agnes (20) and Florence (27), are running away from Belize. They enter the jungle, crossing over the Río Hondo that marks the border with Mexico. But their pursuer finds them; only Agnes survives and runs off into the Mexican jungle. Days later, a group of Mexican chicleros (gum workers) find Agnes lying unconscious and they take her to their camp. Her presence produces tension among the men, who have been working in the jungle for eight months. One by one they fall under Agnes’s allure, and mysterious fatalities ensue; one chiclero plummets from a zapote tree, one falls sick with malaria, and another is eaten by ants. Only one Mayan chiclero suspects Agnes; according to a Mayan legend, a beautiful woman seduces men in the jungle and then causes their death.
