The Bridge Of San Luis Rey.

In 1774, a hundred-year old bridge leading to the chapel of San Luis Rey in Peru, plunges into the deep chasm it spans, killing the five people who were crossing it. Brother Juniper (Donald Woods) is one of the chapel monks, whose faith is rocked by the unfortunate incident. In Lima, a well known local theatre figure called Uncle Pio (Akim Tamiroff) tells the story of his encounter with Micaela Villegas (Lynn Bari) and the unfortunate events leading up to the tragic accident.
