Synopsis

[edit]

The plot tells the story of the last months of Lampião and Maria Bonita. The story begins when Lampião's gang kidnaps the English geologist Steve Chandler. Using Joana Bezerra as an intermediary, the group demands 40,000 contos de réis as payment from the Government of Bahia. Sergeant Libório passes the note with the information to the Governor, but it later falls into the hands of journalist Lindolfo Macedo, who discovers the Governor's plan to kidnap Argemiro, Lampião's brother unrelated to the cangaço, intending to exploit the fact. Together with the British Embassy, the government sends Lieutenant Zé Rufino, a persecutor of Lampião. At a certain point in the plot, Maria Bonita disappears to have an abortion and, when she returns ill, she is taken into the care of the geologist who falls in love with the girl. After the Embassy refuses to pay the ransom, Lieutenant Zé Batista's motorcade finds the couple, who, at dawn on July 28, 1938, are machine-gunned without any possibility of defense.[2][3]
