His guide Juan Bautista Rosales accompanies him through the jungle. De Tounens is obsessed with the idea of ​​uniting the Mapuche tribe and making them crown himself the king of his new kingdom. For this purpose, he has a flag, a custom made constitution and self-embossed coins in his luggage. However, de Tounens is captured by the Chilean army, which is in conflict with the Mapuche, and has to testify in court about his plans.
