Tomas, the old venerable mayor of the remote town of Kawalan, learns that the invading Japanese will set up a garrison there. He organizes willing members in his community to set up a hidden settlement in the middle of the forest, where they can live unaffected by the horrors of war.

Now, he must see if inhabitants of the hidden settlement can escape the sufferings wrought by the war.

Circus hijinks surround the barangay of Sta. Maria in the midst of an international murder sensation. Swanie, Sta.
