An old Indian chief hopes to gain a great profit from the marriage of his daughter, a seventeen-year-old beauty, Lit-Lit. And such an opportunity is provided to him: a matchmaker from the factory— the first person after God in those parts—comes to court the girl. The Indian and the white man agree on the price the bridegroom must pay, but the cunning father decides to deceive his future son-in-law. The old chief only didn’t take one thing into account—his future wife also has a voice.
