In 1913 the white assistant to a Dutch farmer was killed at an ostrich farm on the island of Curaçao. Money, adultery and jealousy were alleged to have been involved. Using authentic film and sound material, the film looks at the unsolved murder without wanting to point the finger at a culprit in retrospect.
