Adventure/romance in Argentina, South America. An Englishman in Argentina to learn stock raising from his uncle rides to Buenos Aires to bring his orphaned brother and sister to his uncle's ranch for Christmas. Brigands attempt to rob him and his two cowboy friends at an inn, and when foiled they shadow the youth around the city, especially to the bank. The Englishman is captured with one of the cowboys on the way back - and eventually they are beaten and walled up in a cave to die. An old woman, a beautiful young girl and reinforcements help save them - and all return for Christmas. Romance blossoms [very thin thread.] Slight; pace and narrative strength varies. (PB)
