Anino (The Shadow) is the hero of the poor sugar-cane workers who are abused by their evil boss Victor Valdez. But Anino's legendary reign comes to an end when Valdez kills his wife, steals his baby son and leaves Anino for dead. 18 years later, a young girl (Celina) returns to the mansion of Valdez seeking vengeance for the death of her Father. She bungles the murder of Valdez and instead runs into an old beggar, who turns out to be Anino. Anino offers to teach Celina everything he knows and the two of them team up to destroy Valdez and his evil empire.—Mike Cassey
